* AdultFear: Quite a few.
** One story centers around a high school girl living on her own for the first time. [[spoiler:She discovers a serial killer has been hiding in her closet and is there ''right that minute''.]] And her rescuer? [[spoiler:a Peeping Tom who murdered the last occupant of her apartment to keep her from revealing his secret.]]
** A bully victim committed suicide [[spoiler:because when she went to her teacher for help, he tried to molest her.]]
** One story has the reveal that [[spoiler:the person whose eyes the protagonist received was killed by her doctor father when admitted for recovery from a car accident.]]
** The reason Akatsuki is so protective of Natsumi is because he quickly figures out that she's no older than 13 and spending her time flirting with older men who have no idea she's underage.
** "Repeat" uses the urban legend of women being kidnapped from department store changing rooms and being forced into prostitution. [[spoiler:It's heavily implied Kiyoko underwent that very fate and was only able to escape by promising to work with her abductors.]]
** "Revived Murder" has the fear that a loved one could secretly be more dark or violent than suspected.
