** The incident upon which [[spoiler:the child steals most of the Christmas savings to later buy things for their new friends]] starts with the PlayerCharacter hearing a noise from the house's living room after finishing a task. Nothing is keeping the task from being fishing, which is done quite far away from the house.

* {{Irony}}: In the few years following the war, [[spoiler:Norway worked very hard to get the Lebsenborn children born to unwed mothers who had been sent to Germany back to Norway, only for them to be mistreated. In the child's case, it involved taking them away from guardians that were willing to raise them with love]].

** One of the child's possible comments about the mail is that ''they'' never get any. [[spoiler:Liv's reaction to the ExcrementStatement incident]] is conveyed via a letter intended for the child.

** The child only ever gives details about the circumstances in which they had detention on the first day, on which they mention having caught up with the school work they missed during their impromptu mental health days. After that, they complain either about Mr. Solheim being mean or just not liking detention. [[spoiler:It turns out Mr. Solheim is doing things he really shouldn't to the child.]]

** One of the child's possible comments about the mail is that ''they'' never get any. [[spoiler:Liv's reaction to the gang urination incident]] is conveyed via a letter intended for the child.

** Liv can't come visit for the child's brithday because she's visiting her aunt elsewere. The child turning out to have and aunt on their biological mother's side allows for one of the step towards getting in contact with their biological father.

** An early journal entry intended to give the child context for their mother giving them up for adoption mentions that some of the women who were in relationships with German soldiers lost their jobs. A later entry casually drops the fact that [[spoiler:caring for the child is the reason the PlayerCharacter lost the job they had before the factory, resulting in them being jobless at the beginning of the game]].
** When first taking about Mr. Berg, the child mentions that he's teaching the class instead of another teacher, Mr. Solheim, because the latter can't work for an unspecified reason. When Mr. Solheim gets to teach again later in the game, the player quickly finds out [[SadistTeacher why]].

** One of the child's possible comments about the mail is that ''they'' never get any. [[spoiler:Liv's decision to become friends with them again]] is conveyed via a letter intended for the child.

* ActuallyIAmHim: The game has a correspondennce-induced case. [[spoiler:The child's German grandparents are dead, so the letter sent to them to ask about the child's biological father gets read by the biologicial father himself]].

** The train station seen when going outside eventually gets used to [[spoiler:visit the child's Norwegian grandparent's and for swiftly leaving town at the end of the game]].

* NotSoDifferentRemark: One journal entry points out that both the Germans who valued the child and the Norwegians who are ostracizing the child are doing the same thing: only seeing the genes carried by the child and not treating them as a person.

* VirtualPaperDoll: A realistic take on it. The child only has four outfits for the entire game, two of which are too damaged to be worn and need to be fixed during gameplay to be usable. Those same outfits will get damaged enough to need mending ''again'' over the course of the game and changing them when it's unnecessary is a waste of a time unit. There is also a comb that can be purchased at the store that will unlock two alternate hairstyles for the child and will cost about the same as a semi-expensive meal. Actually using the comb costs a time unit, as well.

* AsYouKnow: During the tutorial, the child reminds the PlayerCharacter of things they know, but the player would be unware of, such as the person named Liv they are talking about being their best friend or the local store being closed on Sundays.

* InnocentInaccurate: The drawing made by the child that establishes that [[spoiler:they were sexually assaulted depicts the male assaulter with three full fledged arms]].

** Miss Hansen is at the very least the variant singling out a specific child. She introduces Karin/Klaus to the notion of being a German bastard via ''telling the entire rest of the class about it''. She's also the teacher who responds to the letter sent by the PlayerCharacter in response to the child's books or backpack getting damaged by bullies by reading it in front of the class and calling Karin/Klaus a tattletale.

* TheHerosBirthday: One of the first things the player will discover on the first evening of gameplay is that the next day is the child's birthday.

* WhamLine: At some point late in the game, the child [[spoiler:refuses to have a bath]] out of the blue.

* FeaturelessProtagonist: The PlayerCharacter's gender is hidden for the entire game and they are always referred to has the child's "parent". Their age gap with the child in unclear, as well. Anything else about their personality is determined by the player's parenting choices.

* DarkReprise: The game's main theme has a darker variant that plays during long-drawn events that are very had on the child, such as [[spoiler:the meeting with their Norwegian granparents and aunt]] and the night on which [[spoiler:the are not home at their bedtime because bullied left them tied to a tree]].
