* SelfHarm: Sangaile cuts herself frequently, having both her forearms crisscrossed with scars. At first Auste is casual about it, even telling her to do seventeen so it matches Sangaile's age, while cutting her arm too in solidarity. It seems to be a coping mechanism for negative feelings, since Sangaile mentions she first cut herself after her mom had said she's weak. It's not explicitly stated, but implied that by the end she's stopped.

* ManicPixieDreamGirl: In a female/female version, Auste serves as one to Sangaile. Unlike Sangaile who's a shy, reserved girl starting out, she's bold and carefree. Her influence serves to bring Sangaile out of her shell. In fact it's [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructed]] somewhat, since Auste is simultaneously much too casual about things such as Sangaile self-harming, and pushes her to fly in spite of having vertigo.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Sangaile has sex with Saulius, a male friend of Auste, early on. She doesn't seem to be very into it, however, only having enthusiastic encounters with Auste. It's left unclear why she even did it, as there was no buildup beforehand.
