Line 93:
** The greatest threat to Taki's physical wellbeing comes not from some fantastic beast, but rather {{spoiler|a fall. Considering how the mountain crater shrine is so desolate that the bottles there had moss growth from being untouched in 3 years, one can only imagine that no one would have found the body for a long time, if ever. Also imagine how terrible Miki and Tsukasa would have felt if the last they ever heard from him was a vague note that shed absolutely no light on what he was going to do.}}
** Come the [[Distant Finale]], {{spoiler|Taki is struggling to find a job, and judging by how Japanese universities have their graduation in the spring, it's been months.}} The whole thing is kinda [[Played for Laughs]], but makes for uncomfortable watching for anyone who's been in a similar situation.
* ''[[Suzume (film)|Suzume]]'':
** Screenings in Japanese theatres specifically warn audiences about realistic earthquake alerts.
** The film ''starts'' with our protagonist, at this point only four, wandering through [[Scenery Gorn]] desperately looking for her [[Missing Mom]]. She never finds her, never gets closure even years later.
** Your loved one apparently runs away from home and refuses to explain in any detail.
** The [[Invisible to Normals]] nature of the worm, while obviously fantastic, reflects a very real possibility overlapping with [[Paranoia Fuel]] that danger could be lurking around the corner at any moment with you not knowing until it's too late.
** You lose someone right before your eyes, helpless to do anything.
