* The last thing Chloe said before she went on the Train is a bitter and spiteful farewell to Vermillion City and hoping that they get someone else to do her father's job. After ''everything'' that happened in the story, Vermillion City ends up needing a lot of revenue and someone else to take over as local Professor.
* During their blowout argument, Goh accuses Chloe of not having any dreams or goals. As the story progresses, it becomes clear that she has plenty of interests and talents, but was driven to hide them thanks to being cruelly bullied by her peers and lack of outside support (ie ''Goh'').

Illustrating just how ''devoted'' said classmates are to tormenting Chloe, and that [[spoiler:they didn't get any better after being punished; they just got smarter about it]].
* Chloe's {{flashback}} in Chapter 11 also sheds light on why her father insisted on making her work at his lab after school, and why he was so horrified to learn about her macabre preferences. It also makes Chloe questioning where Goh was even harder to look at; while he's with Ash having fun, she's being bullied and attacked because of her father's research.
** It also makes you wonder why "Monster Lover" was only referenced in one flashback. [[spoiler:Because Chloe threatened to kill her classmates if they ever pushed her BerserkButton ever again.]]
* Chloe and Lexi's argument over the latter's want for vengeance against Grace and Simon gets harder to look at when it's revealed that [[spoiler:Chloe did give into her anger to beat Sara up with a paint can, but it did nothing to stop the bullying at all; instead of anything violent and overt, they went for pressuring her to get into Pokémon]].
* Chapter 10 has Chloe worrying that her parents would become [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents amazingly embarrassing]] in their efforts to support her creative pursuits. A {{Flashback}} in Chapter 12 makes clear that she only thinks they'd be supportive since she'd vanished; back then, she feared that if they found out about her writing, they'd [[spoiler:rip it apart in front of her]]. This even extends to the audience finding out that on the night of the paint-can incident, her parents were arguing at each other...only to be later revealed that it wasn't out of hatred, but more frustration of what happened.
* Back in Chapter 4, Ash tells Goh that he messaged everyone he knew about Chloe's whereabouts. Then the prequel story, ''Knight of the Orange Lily'' reveals that Gladion was a former passenger. Moreover [[spoiler:[=UnChloe=] mocks Ash's BystanderSyndrome by telling of Gladion and Lillie arguing at the beach, and Chapter 24 has him learn of Gladion's visit on the Train probably stemmed from said argument.]]
* In Chapter 12, Ash notes that he should call Professor Sycamore in regards to the possibility that Alain may be on the Infinity Train. [[spoiler:Chapter 14 has Henry and Walter note that Alain was a passenger and passed through Silent Hill and three chapters revealed that he never ''left''.]]
* At one point, Sara is forced to admit that Chloe once gave her lunch. A later chapter reveals that Sara once ''stole'' Chloe's lunch and dumped it in the dirt.
* All those times Chloe refused to join Ash and Goh? In truth, she wasn't saying "No, I don't want to" but rather "No, I'm scared and I want you to try harder to make ''me'' try". The fact that neither Ash and Goh realized it convinced Chloe that she was never going to be loved or concerned by them.
* In Chapter 13, Professor Cerise rightfully chews out Miss April's uselessness over doing nothing over his daughter's problems. Seven chapters later, the reader learns that Miss April's own judgement was impaired as she was trying to leave an abusive boyfriend [[spoiler:and she's shown cutting her wrists in an suicide attempt.]]
* In Chapter 10, The Music/CreatureFeature cover of [[Music/BillieEilish "Bury A Friend"]] plays out with the last lyric being "Bury the hatchet or bury a friend right now".

* Goh going through a depressive state after the Cyan Desert Arc mirrors ''Journeys'' Episode 62, when it's revealed that Sobble, after evolving into Drizzile, also ends up depressed, as well as the fact that Goh himself had trouble socializing as a kid at school. It makes the questioning of "Why did Goh not ask for help from his family?" throughout the story even harder to look at it; he was unable to get his point across ''at all'' to his family, thus none of them considered giving him the therapy he sorely needed.
* Upon hearing One-One unable to understand the horrors of [[spoiler:Sean, an Apex member, drowning in the Fog Car and his body dropped off where the train first picked him up]], Rashid is calling out for how One-One could be so cruel. Book 4 reveals he was much worse than this...

* Goh facing a roadblock in his goal to capture Mew; in ''Journeys'' Episode 69, when given a chance to go find Mew via "Project Mew" he declines, mostly because he doesn't like working with other people, which is a flaw he has in the fanfic.
* Larkspur's email to Chloe states that she hopes Grace gets a KarmicTransformation so she understands the pain she gave to the denizens. [[spoiler:''Voyage of Wisteria'' then reveals that Grace did just that, and is with Goh and the Red Lotus Quarto.]]

* In ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'', Ash calls in everybody he can to help search for Chloe after her disappearance. Here, it's revealed that Gladion ''also'' boarded the Train... but Ash was blissfully unaware of the situation.
* Ash muses that he isn't going to be able to do much to help Gladion and Lillie resolve their personal matters, noting that it's not really his responsibility to fix it for them. ''Blossoming Trail'', meanwhile, sees him developing a massive GuiltComplex over his failure to help Chloe and Goh with ''their'' personal problems.

** In Chapter 3, Mallow prays that Ash never has to experience the Train...wait till Ash emails about what's going on and she reveals ''her'' Trip on the Train.
* Ash in general, since his cheerful naivety ''painfully contrasts'' the pain and angst he's going to feel in ''Blossoming Trail''. Particularly how he wishes to not experience the Greendale Incident again...
* Likewise, Lillie's increasing pettiness is hard to watch, since it'll lead to her being viciously called out by Mallow by the time ''Blossoming Trail'' happens.
* Tokio not willing to explain more of his time on the Train to Goh in ''Blossoming Trail'' becomes this in hindsight, given that he didn't want to explain how he was [[spoiler:''brainwashed'' to ruling a car of rabbits.]]
* After Grace's KickTheDog moment, Tokio screams how Grace should end up DyingAlone without anyone loving her. [[spoiler:The Comm-Switch Car in ''Voyage of Wisteria'' reveals that Goh's partner, Warbler, is ''Grace reincarnated''.]]

* Watching Goh become a scapegoat and then be broken down in every way, shape, and form was already hard to watch, but the reveal that he was suffering from depression makes everything he went through from sickening to outright ''unforgivable''.
** ''Journeys'' Episode 15 reveals how Goh is fine with his parents' working late. It's later revealed in the story that the work wasn't asked of them, but more of their choice to keep working for money for the future and that they could've stopped at ''any time'' to give Goh some advice on being social and that their work ethic influenced him to be obsessed over Mew.

!!''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail''
* The last thing Chloe said before she went on the Train is a bitter and spiteful farewell to Vermillion City and hoping that they get someone else to do her father's job. After ''everything'' that happened in the story, Vermillion City ends up needing a lot of revenue and someone else to take over as local Professor.
* During their blowout argument, Goh accuses Chloe of not having any dreams or goals. As the story progresses, it becomes clear that she has plenty of interests and talents, but was driven to hide them thanks to being cruelly bullied by her peers and lack of outside support (ie ''Goh'').
* At the end of Chapter 4, Parker states that he really did love Chloe when Professor Cerise explained why Chloe ran away. It turns out chapters later that he really ''did'' love her since he was the only person to know about Chloe's love of the macabre.
* The way most of Chloe's classmates pressure her to show more interest in Pokémon is cast in a whole new light with the Crayon Car's revelations about how [[spoiler:this was how her bullies switched tactics after getting into trouble for the paint incident]]. Illustrating just how ''devoted'' said classmates are to tormenting Chloe, and that [[spoiler:they didn't get any better after being punished; they just got smarter about it]].
* Chloe's {{flashback}} in Chapter 11 also sheds light on why her father insisted on making her work at his lab after school, and why he was so horrified to learn about her macabre preferences. It also makes Chloe questioning where Goh was even harder to look at; while he's with Ash having fun, she's being bullied and attacked because of her father's research.
** It also makes you wonder why "Monster Lover" was only referenced in one flashback. [[spoiler:Because Chloe threatened to kill her classmates if they ever pushed her BerserkButton ever again.]]
* Chloe and Lexi's argument over the latter's want for vengeance against Grace and Simon gets harder to look at when it's revealed that [[spoiler:Chloe did give into her anger to beat Sara up with a paint can, but it did nothing to stop the bullying at all; instead of anything violent and overt, they went for pressuring her to get into Pokémon]].
* Chapter 10 has Chloe worrying that her parents would become [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents amazingly embarrassing]] in their efforts to support her creative pursuits. A {{Flashback}} in Chapter 12 makes clear that she only thinks they'd be supportive since she'd vanished; back then, she feared that if they found out about her writing, they'd [[spoiler:rip it apart in front of her]]. This even extends to the audience finding out that on the night of the paint-can incident, her parents were arguing at each other...only to be later revealed that it wasn't out of hatred, but more frustration of what happened.
* Back in Chapter 4, Ash tells Goh that he messaged everyone he knew about Chloe's whereabouts. Then the prequel story, ''Knight of the Orange Lily'' reveals that Gladion was a former passenger. Moreover [[spoiler:[=UnChloe=] mocks Ash's BystanderSyndrome by telling of Gladion and Lillie arguing at the beach, and Chapter 24 has him learn of Gladion's visit on the Train probably stemmed from said argument.]]
* In Chapter 12, Ash notes that he should call Professor Sycamore in regards to the possibility that Alain may be on the Infinity Train. [[spoiler:Chapter 14 has Henry and Walter note that Alain was a passenger and passed through Silent Hill and three chapters revealed that he never ''left''.]]
* At one point, Sara is forced to admit that Chloe once gave her lunch. A later chapter reveals that Sara once ''stole'' Chloe's lunch and dumped it in the dirt.
* All those times Chloe refused to join Ash and Goh? In truth, she wasn't saying "No, I don't want to" but rather "No, I'm scared and I want you to try harder to make ''me'' try". The fact that neither Ash and Goh realized it convinced Chloe that she was never going to be loved or concerned by them.
* In Chapter 13, Professor Cerise rightfully chews out Miss April's uselessness over doing nothing over his daughter's problems. Seven chapters later, the reader learns that Miss April's own judgement was impaired as she was trying to leave an abusive boyfriend [[spoiler:and she's shown cutting her wrists in an suicide attempt.]]
* In Chapter 10, The Music/CreatureFeature cover of [[Music/BillieEilish "Bury A Friend"]] plays out with the last lyric being "Bury the hatchet or bury a friend right now". [[spoiler:In Chapter 21, Goh goes through traumatic nightmares that renders him unable to make amends and instead ends with him throwing himself into an open grave BuriedAlive.]]
* Parker chewing out Ash for not coming to him or anybody else about Chloe becomes this in Act II, when it's later revealed what Parker [[TheResenter REALLY thinks of Ash]] and how he hated him not just for taking his father and Goh away from him and Chloe, but fearing that he'd also take ''Chloe'' away from ''him'' as well.
* Goh going through a depressive state after the Cyan Desert Arc mirrors ''Journeys'' Episode 62, when it's revealed that Sobble, after evolving into Drizzile, also ends up depressed, as well as the fact that Goh himself had trouble socializing as a kid at school. It makes the questioning of "Why did Goh not ask for help from his family?" throughout the story even harder to look at it; he was unable to get his point across ''at all'' to his family, thus none of them considered giving him the therapy he sorely needed.
* Upon hearing One-One unable to understand the horrors of [[spoiler:Sean, an Apex member, drowning in the Fog Car and his body dropped off where the train first picked him up]], Rashid is calling out for how One-One could be so cruel. Book 4 reveals he was much worse than this...
* When Goh is going through nightmare therapy, he sees a lovely "scene" of Chloe falling to her death from the school rooftop and their class looking in horror at what they did. [[spoiler: In the Fog Car, Chloe falls to her death and the Apex ''would rather let her die for ruining their fun.'']]
* Goh facing a roadblock in his goal to capture Mew; in ''Journeys'' Episode 69, when given a chance to go find Mew via "Project Mew" he declines, mostly because he doesn't like working with other people, which is a flaw he has in the fanfic.
* Larkspur's email to Chloe states that she hopes Grace gets a KarmicTransformation so she understands the pain she gave to the denizens. [[spoiler:''Voyage of Wisteria'' then reveals that Grace did just that, and is with Goh and the Red Lotus Quarto.]]
* The end of Goh's nightmare therapy has him [[spoiler:thrown into an open grave]]. In ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' (which the author used Luz as inspiration for Chloe) has another Creator/ZenoRobinson character digging his own grave.
* When Chloe returns home and is given gifts by her classmates, she bursts into tears by telling them that because of their actions, she was close to committing suicide...which was what she did in ''Court of Cyclamen''.
!!''Fanfic/InfinityTrainKnightOfTheOrangeLily''
* In ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'', Ash calls in everybody he can to help search for Chloe after her disappearance. Here, it's revealed that Gladion ''also'' boarded the Train... but Ash was blissfully unaware of the situation.
* Ash muses that he isn't going to be able to do much to help Gladion and Lillie resolve their personal matters, noting that it's not really his responsibility to fix it for them. ''Blossoming Trail'', meanwhile, sees him developing a massive GuiltComplex over his failure to help Chloe and Goh with ''their'' personal problems.
* Mallow being taken care of Tuba during her stay on the Train is safe...but remember that the story after this takes place during Book 3...
** In Chapter 3, Mallow prays that Ash never has to experience the Train...wait till Ash emails about what's going on and she reveals ''her'' Trip on the Train.
* Ash in general, since his cheerful naivety ''painfully contrasts'' the pain and angst he's going to feel in ''Blossoming Trail''. Particularly how he wishes to not experience the Greendale Incident again...
* Likewise, Lillie's increasing pettiness is hard to watch, since it'll lead to her being viciously called out by Mallow by the time ''Blossoming Trail'' happens.
* Tokio not willing to explain more of his time on the Train to Goh in ''Blossoming Trail'' becomes this in hindsight, given that he didn't want to explain how he was [[spoiler:''brainwashed'' to ruling a car of rabbits.]]
* After Grace's KickTheDog moment, Tokio screams how Grace should end up DyingAlone without anyone loving her. [[spoiler:The Comm-Switch Car in ''Voyage of Wisteria'' reveals that Goh's partner, Warbler, is ''Grace reincarnated''.]]

* Watching Goh become a scapegoat and then be broken down in every way, shape, and form was already hard to watch, but the reveal that he was suffering from depression makes everything he went through from sickening to outright ''unforgivable''.
** ''Journeys'' Episode 15 reveals how Goh is fine with his parents' working late.
