Line 20:
Rin manages to escape, but since Kaede's father has taken Rin into their home, Rin must constantly put up with Kaede's deep hatred of him. While putting on a front of being friends with Rin around her father, Kaede does such things as vandalize Rin's room, drop a box-cutter on his face so that it [[Eye Scream|slices his eye]] while he's coming up the stairs, locks him out of the house when its raining and goes outside to meet him where she tell him "I don't understand. Why did my mother have to die, while someone like you still gets to live? I wish you were dead. I mean it! Just die!" Once she finds out that it was actually her fault that her mother died she then [[The Atoner|spends the next few years of her life completely devoting herself to Rin in an attempt to make up for how she treated him during their childhood]].
* Minagi Tohno in ''[[AIR]]'' reveals she was going to have a {{spoiler|little sister (to have been named Michiru) but her mother miscarried}}. Her mother {{spoiler|calls Minagi "Michiru"}}.
* In ''[[Skip Beat!]]'', it's a little unclear how the car accident death of Hizuri Kuon's older friend Rick came about, sending him into an [[Angst Coma]], but a large part of the reason it hit him so hard is that a blonde woman attached to them both expressed this sentiment and called Kuon a murderer. Even if he was (illegally) driving the car, it would have been a completely accidental vehicular homicide, since Rick couldn't even get the kid to do violence to a chicken because of his excessive empathy. And it doesn't look like he was driving.
** He only got out of the [[Angst Coma]] by turning into {{spoiler|Tsuruga Ren.}} And when he almost got into a car accident when a little boy ran in front of his stunt vehicle, he suffered flashbacks.
* ''[[ARAGO]]'': When Arago and Rio meet for the first time after Ewan's death, Rio quite explicitly expresses to Arago how she wishes that he would have died in Ewan's stead. This changes pretty quickly though.
