9* AllThereInTheManual: The cast's names aren't stated in the short itself. They are detailed from other pieces about it including the description, and a little video about their personalities and designs.

11* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:Brad falls off the counter they are on and is heard shattering upon hitting the floor.]]
12* {{Foil}}: Jesse is one to Brad. Both are clingy to Mara and Val respectively, but while Brad is aggressive and remains demanding and abusive of Val, Jesse's expressions read more of doubt and concern, and he learns to let Mara choose who she wants to be with.
13* GoodScarsEvilScars: [[spoiler:When Brad is struck by Jesse, he has a crack on his face that very much resembles that of a scar, reflecting how unhinged he is.]]

19* KarmicDeath: Brad knocks Val off their cake, causing her arm to shatter upon hitting the floor. [[spoiler:He meets his demise falling off the counter trying to shatter Val completely, resulting in him being the one in pieces.]]
20* PleaseDontLeaveMe: Jesse starts as a relatively tamer version of this in contrast to Brad's IfICantHaveYou mentality, being notably concerned about what it will mean when Mara falls in love with Val. [[spoiler: [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy He gets better]].]]
21* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:When Brad falls off the counter, he grabs Val's dress in an attempt to take her down too.]]
