*The actions of Angel and The Man are the author's loose allusion to the abilities of fanfic writers to manipulate their characters however they saw fit. The debate on the Daria message board [[PPMB]] over the incresing level of angst in Daria fanfic was gently poked fun at in this story.

*When The Man whispers, "I'm sorry", he's telling Quinn to add it to her letter, to give her family at least some relief from the blame she places on them for her state of mind. Angel counteracts his last attempt at reducing the family's pain by telling Quinn to change the line to increase their guilt("No, you're not."). In the story the last line of Quinn's suicide note states, "I'm not sorry." laying all the blame for her feelings of abandonment and subsequent suicide at her family's feet.
