* [[A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read]]: Penta has a hard time not reading her host's mind. Her host is Vita, who often has murderous thoughts. And a ''considerable'' amount of these murderous thoughts are about killing Penta. Vita doesn't consider these thoughts to have much sway on her actions (particularly the ones about killing Penta), but it's not clear how much Penta believes Vita on that. What is clear however is that Vita's thoughts give Penta a great deal of anxiety.
* [[Con Crew]]: Vita has played the Shill in Rowan's shell game.
* [[Confessional]]: {{spoiler|Lark}} confesses her sins to Preacher Gregory. Preacher Gregory never actually promises that the information will be kept secret, and he does indeed share at least some of it. He does say that what {{spoiler|Lark}} says won't be held against her (he does hold it against her for a few minutes tops, but he tries to hide it. Dude is only human). The people he divulges the secret to don't hold it against {{spoiler|Lark}} either.
* [[Creepy Child]]: Vita thinks she is 16, but has yet to go through puberty because of malnutrition. She is also a soul eating necromancer, which creeps Rowan out. Rowan is relieved that mind controlling living people is outside Vita's natural talent. Norah doesn't know that Vita is a necromancer, and still finds Vita spooky.
* [[Disposing of a Body]]: Lyn helped Vita get rid of Grig's reanimated corpse.
* [[Foil]]: Vita and Lark to each other. Both are soul-eaters; Lark does so through eating living flesh (which has some soul in it), while Vita eats the disembodied souls of the dead. Both also start off as hunters of the other's kind (human and monster, respectively). {{spoiler|Vita [[He Who Fights Monsters|grows more monstrous]] and becomes a prisoner of the Templars, while Lark is [[Humanity Ensues|becoming more human]] and training to be a Templar.}}
* [[Gambling Game]]: The game "King’s Dominance".{{context}}
* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: {{spoiler|Penny}} was determined to make {{spoiler|Penta}} die in large part because of this:
{{quote|{{spoiler|She takes all my memories, all my experiences, and becomes an actual fucking person instead of an emotionally deficient ''shell''. She robbed me of the ability to pretend I’m a victim of circumstance. She was proof that all my failures are my own.}}}}
