[[GenreSavvy Cooro then suggests they try to find a lake for their next destination, just because.]]

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[spoiler:Fly befriended Cooro when the latter was just a very young child. He expressed a strong ''attraction'' to Cooro's Anima and took advantage of the boy's naivete by tricking him into promising that he'll ''give'' said Anima to him when he's older. Years later, Cooro leaves and Fly grows obsessed with getting him back, stalking him relentlessly. When Cooro finally shows some resistance, realizing that Fly is bad news, Fly resorts to lying to him when he's at his most vulnerable. Fly then takes Cooro's Anima by force, driving Cooro to a suicidal stupor. Give up? Fly is basically coded as a child molester]].

* {{Deconstruction}}: Of TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening; no kids, just because you got some cool powers out of it doesn't mean that your trauma will just instantly go away and even if it does there's still the fact that [[FantasticRacism not everyone thinks your powers are cool]].


Added DiffLines:

* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: This is the way you gain a +Anima in the first place. Deconstructed in many ways too--the trauma doesn't go away just because you got some cool powers out of the deal and even if it does there's still the problem of persecution against Anima, as well as InnocentlyInsensitive individuals who think having +Anima powers would be fun.
