* ActivationSequence: At the start of the [[JustifiedTutorial tutorial segment]], Ann goes into a virtual room where it's entirely coated black until the startup system is engaged where all virtual constructs are digitized in the surrounding.

* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: Prior to the last fight against C, Ann is told she'll have to protect Sigrid as she channels her [[RealityWarper ability]] to weaken C to a vulnerable state.

(And when Ann tells Ayane to stop calling her that, Ayane playfully offers "Honey," "Baby," or "Lover" instead.) Ann mostly constantly rejects these acts of playfulness and WordOfGod says she's not the "romantic" type, but is Ayane just flirting with the full-knowledge her romantic feelings will never be reciprocated or does she just think it's funny to tease Ann?
* AmbitionIsEvil: C seeks to obtain an ArtifactOfDoom called The Dypheus' Breath that will allow him to open portals through AnotherDimension which he plans to use for his own agenda. Overtime, he displays arrogant disdain and obsessive ambition towards his coworkers because he believes that his plan will not bring about disastrous consequences and the only way it will succeed if he is the one in control without anyone standing in his way, even [[MotiveDecay resorting]] to attempting to take over The Consortium out of spite.
