Always Second Best: seems to be the crux of Davy's insecurity, could also be viewed as The Un Favourite.

Driven to Suicide: The pain of his condition drives James to this while in fact the story evolves into a Mercy Kill when Miles assists him before culminating in Cradling Their Kill.

Deadpan Snarker: Miles. Nearly everything that ever comes out of his mouth. His opening words to his dying best friend: "Well, you look like shit. I thought they'd stuck you out here 'cause you'd snuffed it." "I thought the Life/Tea-making metaphor was good, but that was... exquisite."

Feather Motif: Feathers appear several times within the film - falling from the air, offered as gifts and seen in the grass. There is also an appearance by a character wearing angel wings.

Dude, Where's My Respect?

This probably applies more literally to Davy, who is prone to explosive tantrums despite being the gentlest and most caring character. See also elements of Dude, Where's My Respect?.

Beware the Nice Ones
 Third Star / int_fccd06b6
comment
Beware the Nice Ones: James has this to a certain degree - he's more than capable of quite vicious outbursts. This probably applies more literally to Davy, who is prone to explosive tantrums despite being the gentlest and most caring character. See also elements of Dude, Where's My Respect?.
