* Marina unloads all her frustrations with Amber's patronizing treatment of her, not the least of which is the fact that this ''isn't'' the first time they've confronted this issue. Amber is genuinely sorry about this, but is painfully aware that it'll take a while to fully regain Marina's trust.

* The DLC begins with a depressingly [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome realistic]] look at Marina and Amber's relationship. Now that the "honeymoon" of falling in love is over, they have to deal with each other's flaws- in Amber's case, she still treats Marina like a child. No wonder Marina's so depressed, [[StepfordSmiler even if she doesn't often show it]].

* After Amber's drunk conversation with Mariah, she finally buries the tape, tearfully asking her grandfather for permission to move on with her life.
-->'''Amber''': Maybe I got attached too easily and really did use her, but I don't want her to leave. I love her so much. ''(starts to cry)'' And I want to prove I'm worth loving too. Would you hate me? Would I be letting you down if I decided to be happy instead? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry...

* Part of the reason why [[LoveMartyr Marina puts up with Amber's patronizing treatment]] is out of consideration for her having recently lost her grandfather, and the rest is out of a fear that Amber might end up abandoning her.



* Joe had a younger brother named Benjamin, but he ended up drowning. In the aftermath of Benjamin's death, Mariah was the only person who seemd to have any regard for Joe's feelings.

!Highway Blossoms
* For Amber, the beginning of the game. Her grandfather, the one person in the world who'd cared about her up to that point, dies of his illness, leaving Amber alone with mountains of debt and an unfulfilled promise to go to a music festival together.
* Amber's breakdown after slipping up and offering to introduce Marina to her grandfather, having temporarily forgotten that he's dead.
* Amber has an awful day the morning after having sex with Marina. The tape deck of her grandfather's RV eats her tape, then the engine blows. She then blows up in Marina's face, calling her useless.
* In the hotel room later that day, Amber, disgusted with herself and how she's treated Marina, tries to give her a one-way ticket back home, and even all of the treasure. Marina, however, can't accept the decision.
