Bookends:The end of Aza's opening monologue is "You're not real. You're fictional". At the mid-point, Professor Abbott's titular turtle tale ends with "Maybe you're infinite. And I think your doubts make you more real, not less". The end of Daisy's closing monologue is "Love is both how you become a person, and why. Love, Holmesy, is how you become real".

Opening Narration: Aza gives us a thesis statement on her composition-flavored existential crisis, before it's revealed she was diegetically speaking to her therapist.

Jump Scare: A mild example, Aza's anxious visions of microscopic life forms occasionally cut into scenes without warning.

comment
Adaptational Angst Downgrade: In the novel, Davis cynically pays Aza the promised cash reward in exchange for her ending her search for his father, assuming that was the only reason she came back into his life. In the film, he instead gives it to her for the express purpose of allowing them to build their relationship without the money as a pretense, completely optimistic that she'll keep the connection going, and assuming she'll stop investigating his father simply because she now has no more incentive to.

Flash Forward: We see Aza reunite with Davis and get married with him in a dreamlike sequence that may or may not be just imagined while Daisy monologues more vaguely about Aza's identity and future.
