** Rie is in love with Taiko and holds the Halloween party at which the story takes place in order to win him over. One of the decorations is a tombstone with the names of all eight guests besides herself and Taiko- her best friend Runa is included. However, Rie comes into conflict with Taiko midway through the story when he accuses Runa of murdering [[spoiler:Momoko, the first victim, based on the fact that Momoko was in a relationship with the guy Runa liked]], with Rie unwilling to accept the idea that Runa was guilty. The two make amends later on, [[spoiler:shortly before Taiko changes his prime suspect to Kamen]].
** Taiko is implied to have a crush on Raiko, the protagonist. However, at the climax of the game, after Taiko's best friend Kotoba [[spoiler:is killed or badly burned, depending on whether the player made the right choices, Taiko concludes that Kamen is the culprit]]. After Raiko [[spoiler:argues in favor of Kamen's innocence]], Taiko becomes angry with her, calming down once [[spoiler:Raiko identifies Momoko as the true culprit. He even is forced to accept that Kotoba had stalked Momoko]].
** Kamen and Momoko' s relationship with this trope involves major spoilers. They are very close to each other- Momoko is Kamen's OnlyFriend, while Kamen is one of a few people Momoko trusts besides her boyfriend Runa. While Kamen obviously dislikes Hiro, she seems willing to tolerate him as long as he treats Momoko well, thus sparing . [[spoiler:In actuality, Momoko averts this trope. When Kamen informed Momoko about Hiro cheating on her, Momoko refused to believe her and threatened to end their friendship if Kamen persisted. When Momoko saw texts from Hiro on Kamen's phone, Momoko snapped and came up with a plan to kill herself and Hiro in revenge, use Kotoba as an easily manipulated and expendable accomplice and frame Kamen for the deaths. As for Kamen, she happens to be in love with Momoko, but never confessed.]]
