* ForDoomTheBellTolls: The clock tower bell chimes throughout the story, usually as a PortentOfDoom. Yashiki seems to be the only one able to hear it and later we learn that the clock tower hasn't been working for some time now. Also overlaps with SavedByTheChurchBell, as a lighter, less ominous chime will sound when you complete an important action. Tying in with The Departed's WeddingDeathJuxtaposition, the chiming references a wedding bell and a funeral knell.

* AccidentalMurder: In Chapter 6, [[spoiler: Yashiki accidentally murders Michiho with a crowbar, who appeared to him as The Departed. Not only was this a direct manipulation from The Departed themselves, but a later investigation hints that Michiho may have been [[KillAndReplace killed and taken over]] by the Departed back in August, so Michiho was DeadAllAlong.]]

* MagicMushroom: In Chapter 5, Yashiki has to eat a bit of fox laccata in order to see where Mister Kokkuri is hiding. Subverted in that, while the mushroom is a hallucinogen, it probably has no further supernatural properties. Yashiki's ability to see Mister Kokkuri after eat it is probably due to a combination of Yashiki's special spiritual sense and Mister Kokkuri's association with the mushroom.
