"HE TRUSTED YOU!" Another fist, and another web of cracks. "WE trusted you! And look what you did!" She tore off the paper, and pulled it up to her baleful gaze. "He lost four years because of YOU! He keeps having nightmares because of YOU! I-I have to stand there and--" She growled. "He's so scared.... and it's all. Your. '''FAULT!'''"

* WhatTheHellHero: When Sunny confessed to what Mari did to him and to killing her, [[{{Pun}} Hero]] at first tries to deny it, claiming that Sunny is still recovering mentally from his fight with Basil and possibly delirious. This absolutely angers Aubrey and Kel (albeit to a lesser extent than her), while Sunny, horrified at Hero refusing to believe him, runs off to the hospital roof and [[DrivenToSuicide tries to end himself]].

-->[Kel] found it hard to believe that the girl that everyone looked up to, the girl that his brother collapsed over, may have been a monster. But he believed regardless. He believed in Sunny’s clear anguish and fear.

-->How many times did she pin Sunny down? How many times did everyone smile and laugh with Mari, unaware of her crimes? How many times did Mari wave off Sunny's mood when Aubrey asked about it....?\\

* BrokenPedestal: Mari was seen as the CoolBigSis by Sunny's friends, and TheHeart of their group, to the point that her death caused them to split up. Needless to say, they all have a lot of trouble coming to terms with the reveal that she had been sexually abusing Sunny, with Aubrey and Basil in particular getting traumatized secondhand. Basil, who is noted as having trusted Mari greatly, becomes unable to bond with Polly (his caretaker) because he thinks she might do the same to him, and Aubrey goes from dying her hair pink because Mari wanted it, to openly expressing a desire to kill Mari herself. In ''False Heaven'', Aubrey directly tells (a picture of) Mari how she betrayed them.

%% * BrokenPedestal: The revelation of Mari's abuse towards Sunny hit Hero, Aubrey, and Sunny's mother especially hard, to the extent that Hero temporarily winds up in denial, and Aubrey goes from mourning her dear friend to wishing she could kill Mari herself. %%%%% Partial Context Example: Did anyone idolize Mari?

%% * BrotherSisterIncest: An unwilling example.

* CerebusRetcon: Some of Mari's canon dialogue and unused Something dialogue is repurposed to make Mari sound predatory towards Sunny. For example, her {{Catchphrase}}, "All it costs is your love!"- the love in this case being her sexual assaults. And Something saying "Sunny... I love you" is because that is what Mari would say while molesting him.

* KarmicDeath: In sharp contrast to the original canon where Mari's death is a tragic accident, Mari is accidentally killed by Sunny when she attempts to rape him.

There's also a similar one-shot fanfic, ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/32998861 False Heaven]]'' by Schrift, which is openly inspired by this one but takes place in a slightly different continuity. It follows a similar setup with a Sunny/Aubrey pairing and deals with Aubrey's growing frustration with her inability to have a physical relationship with Sunny due to his [[HatesBeingTouched aversion to touch]].

* DarkReprise: Some of Mari's canon dialogue and unused Something dialogue is repurposed to make Mari sound predatory.

* TraumaButton: The thought of Sunny being around Mari, as well as things that heavily remind him of her, cause his traumatic memories to resurface. To protect Sunny, his mother donated their piano to Faraway's church, and Hero decided to stow away Basil's photos of Mari (and all except the ones of her with Hero were burned by Aubrey).

* SpiritualSuccessor: The fanfic is explicitly said to be inspired by ''[[VideoGame/{{LISA}} LISA the First]]'', a ''VideoGame/YumeNikki''-esque SurrealHorror game about a child being sexually abused by a family member and experiencing nightmares because of it.

* AdultFear: Sunny's mom is horrified to learn about the abuse that went on in her house under her nose and is heartbroken when Sunny initially rejects her attempt to comfort him.

His grandma shook her head. “You’re too young to know what it’s about.”\

* NoAntagonist: Downplayed in the three sequel fics, where BigBad Mari is already dead, and like in the canon game, the only thing Sunny faces against at large after Mari's death is the trauma handed to him. But despite her absence, Mari's abuse still lingers in the minds of Sunny, Basil, and the other friends once they realize the truth.

* VillainousIncest: Initiated by Mari on an unwilling Sunny.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Mari is seen as her beloved self from the original game, as Sunny refuses to hurt everyone else's perception of her.
* WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou: Shortly before her death, Mari blames Sunny for getting slapped in the face by her after he tried to resist her ''[[VillainousIncest rape attempt]]''.

* HatesBeingTouched: Sunny is averse to physical intimacy — particularly from grown women — because he was sexually assaulted by his sister.
* HeelFaceTurn: Omori stands against Sunny at the end of the first fic because he's upholding Sunny's sincere belief that he should hide what Mari did to him. After Sunny comes to terms with the truth, though, he actively helps him fight against his trauma... [[JustifiedTrope which is what he was first created to stave off]].

* SpiritualSuccessor: The fanfic is explicitly said to be inspired by ''[[VideoGame/{{LISA}} LISA the First]]''.

* AdaptationalVillainy: The story follows an alternative reading of the game's story where Mari is portrayed as a predator who molested Sunny and is thought by Aubrey to have planned to prey on Basil.

* BigBad: Mari in the first and second story is Sunny's sexual abuser and the cause of all his trauma. Even after her death, her actions cast a shadow in the two following stories.

* DrivenToSuicide: Sunny nearly throws himself off the hospital's roof when he's triggered by his reawakening trauma, but Omori manages to dissuade him.

* BrokenPedestal: The revelation of Mari's abuse towards Sunny hit Hero, Aubrey, and Sunny's mother especially hard, to the extent that Hero temporarily winds up in denial, and part of Aubrey wishes she was able to kill Mari herself.
