With Rivet, he laments how he's fallen in love with a woman who gave birth to someone else's children. Now compare that with [[EarnYourHappyEnding Bolt's endings]] where he either befriends Chain or resolves to take care of Nail or Rivet out of the kindness of his heart...]]

And then there's the name of the game--"gear", but with the "pro" at the beginning it sounds a lot like "progeria", a medical condition in which the victim ages particularly quickly.
