* In a weird, twisted, [[TearJerker Tear Jerker-ish]] way, Alfred himself is this. It's mentioned in one entry of his diary that he [[spoiler: "found a dead cat in [Aya's] drawer. Hiding it in a dresser... Exactly as [he] used to."]] When put in this context, he was afraid that Aya would turn out like him when he was young. His resolve is to turn his precious daughter into a doll so she isn't "dirtied" and doesn't make the same mistakes as he did. He really ''did'' mean it when he said, "I love you."

* Two words: [[spoiler: Adult Aya]] in the Nintendo 2020 Remake. Thanks to her experiences in the mansion, she's grown into a mature and strong woman.

She's also very protective towards Maria, with the two having grown close and fond of each other over the years.
* At the end of the Blood Mode, [[spoiler: Adult Aya encounters her father once again, who tries to kill her. She resigns herself to her fate, wishing to be reunited with her parents in the afterlife. She then hears Maria's voice calling her.
