  • Harsher in Hindsight: The entire premise of "The Great Automatic Grammatizator" has become this with the rise of AI text generators and AI art since the early 2020s, and the subsequent fears that human writers and artists will be rendered obsolete and unable to make a living.
  • Tear Jerker: In Katina, the titular character is a young Greek girl who loses her family in a German bombing and becomes the mascot/daughter figure of the RAF squadron that takes her in. The pilots all adore her, making it all the more heart-breaking when they're unable to stop her from escaping their trench and furiously shouting and running after another German aircraft, and she gets gunned down before their eyes.
