* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: In one chapter, the FAD group type messages on Bindy's laptop while she is asleep. [[spoiler: Later, after Bindy's hospitalization, they come back to explain the events that got her there and to say goodbye, although thankfully Bindy does end up waking up.]]
Added DiffLines:
* LiteralMinded: PlayedForDrama. Bindy takes the comments written about her in the first Name Game at face value and considers them insults, and her deep hurt and anger fuels a lot of her nastier actions towards her classmates. When she eventually [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone has a guilt-induced breakdown]] and [[PoorCommunicationKills finally fully explains what got her so upset at them in the first place]], they each explain their respective comments and the intentions behind them, and it turns out none of them were seriously trying to insult her.
Added DiffLines:
* PoorCommunicationKills: The FAD group's first Name Game upsets Bindy deeply because the comments written about her come off to her as insults, and she withdraws and starts lashing out at them as a result. The misunderstanding only gets cleared up after Bindy explains how hurt she was as part of a stress-induced breakdown, which gives the other group members a chance to explain their comments.
