Nightmare Fuel / Ephemeral Prince

• Zuan. He has a nasty habit of freezing people's legs in place so they can't run away when he wants to talk to them (rumor has it he used to be an executioner and he would do this to condemned prisoners before killing them), he seems to be a bit too gleeful about things like setting scarecrows on fire, and he would willingly send people to war who have no business going to war.
• In Snowe's nightmare, Astra makes an appearance. She looks away for a moment, and then looks back, and her face has disappeared.
• Hiante. It's terrifying when one of your former friends is trying to hunt you down because a demon forced you to kill people dear to both him and you.
• The mere fact that Fleeting takes place after the bad ending, meaning that despite all the effort and sacrifices the party had made, Xiri won before this story even began.
• The scar across Snowe's eye. When he's being healed up after being found on the ship, it's commented judging by that scar, someone really had it in for him. That was Erio who did that. Apparently he was just as serious as Hiante when he said he'd kill Snowe if anything happened to Astra. And Erio's older sister thinks he didn't cut deep enough. Ouch.
• The revelation that Snowe turns out to have not survived the Hopeless Boss Fight against Lorel. He's been Dead All Along, kept animated by Xiri's magic this entire time.
• The whole notion that in order for Beliaz to be able to turn back time, Snowe will have to devour Xiri. And in Chapter 19, he does.
