Added DiffLines:

* OhCrap: Shizuru has a somewhat understated example when Konoka mentions District 1, with her eyes opening wide as she hears about it.

!This fic contains examples of:
*AlliterativeName: '''Ko'''noka '''Ko'''kuto, the main character.
*BittersweetEnding[=/=]DownerEnding: Depending on your perspective. If you believe that Shizuru got what she deserved, then it's the former, as Konoka's also going to hell. If you believe that any use of Ai's contract is tragic, then it's the latter. If you believe that Shizuru doesn't deserve this, it's ''definitely'' the latter.
*DaddysGirl: Konoka was quite close to her father.
*DraggedOffToHell: Shizuru's ultimate fate, in which she suffers all manner of painful indignities, combined with insincere apologies.
*DramaticIrony: Konoka doesn't understand why Shizuru would turn on District 1, which ostensibly shares the Himes' goal of dealing with the threat of Orphans. She doesn't realize that District 1 serves [[BigBad The Obsidian Lord]].
*FauxAffablyEvil: Shizuru exhibits some traits of this, being outwardly polite to Konoka, but being largely unrepentant about killing the First District, and showing a certain level of condescension toward Konoka when she protests.
*ForegoneConclusion: Since the story is based off ''Anime/HellGirl'', it's essentially a given that Konoka will go through with sending Shizuru, along with herself, to Hell.
*KarmaHoudini: The trope is referred to by name in the author's notes, and is ultimately averted by Konoka using the contract.
*KarmicDeath: Shizuru being DraggedOffToHell by the daughter of a man she killed, with the experience itself showing her that not everything can be fixed with an apology.
*MadnessMantra: Shizuru's repeating "It was all for Natsuki" as she's DraggedOffToHell.
*PoliceAreUseless: Konoka goes to them first, but gets no help from them, leaving her two choices- confront Shizuru and get her to turn herself in, or send her to Hell.
*PrecisionFStrike: Enraged by Shizuru's lack of remorse for what she's done, Konoka screams, "DON'T FUCK WITH ME!"
*RevengeFic: Against Shizuru for her killing the First District members.
*SeeYouInHell: Konoka says this to Shizuru when sealing her contract, making this a literal example.
*ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish: Konoka's father used her name as his password. although Konoka tries several other ones first. The moment when she realizes her guess is correct is both [[HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming]] and [[TearJerker tear-jerking]].
* RevengeBeforeReason: Zig-zagged. On the one hand, Konoka ultimately decides to condemn Shizuru to hell, even knowing that means she'll go there, too. On the other hand, Konoka only does so after exhausting all other options that she can think of.
*WeWillNotUsePhotoshopInTheFuture: Averted. Even though Konoka's video of Shizuru using her Element and Child to destroy the District 1 Headquarters is genuine, the police officer who sees it laughs at her and says that it has great special effect.
