No Biochemical Barriers | |
| Lost in the Moment and Found / int_17058a90 | comment |
No Biochemical Barriers: Averted. Vineta has a special crystal spike that she uses to test foods to make sure they're safe for consumption. With the multiple worlds and magic at play, being human isn't good enough...for example, bread from the Moors barely passes muster due to the wickedness of the place, while the cheese and butter are fine. | |

The Fagin | |
| Lost in the Moment and Found / int_1b901025 | comment |
The Fagin: What Vineta and the magpies actually are. Adults can't open Doors but they can walk through Doors someone else has opened, so they've exploited that by hiring children to open Doors for them, letting the children waste away while they get richer and richer. They manage to hold Antsy for two years before she uncovers their deception. | |

Tooth Fairy | |
| Lost in the Moment and Found / int_1ff34792 | comment |
Tooth Fairy: Antsy's lost teeth are exchanged for chocolate coins and once, a note. It's a combination of the Shop and the spirit of a long-ago worldwalker who first built it, trying to communicate with Antsy. | |

Rapid Aging | |
| Lost in the Moment and Found / int_3687d605 | comment |
Rapid Aging: It's revealed that every time a person passes through a Door, they age two whole days as the "cost". It's not enough to be noticeable for most travelers, who only go through Doors once or twice, but to travellers like Antsy who go through several doors a day, it adds up fast. Antsy ages nine years in two, and it's implied that many of the kids did it until they were completely used up. It also has some nasty side effects: Antsy going rapidly through puberty makes growing pains much worse. | |

Asleep for Days: After going through a dozen Doors in one go, Antsy falls asleep for nearly a whole week. Hudson puts his claw down and limits her to five Doors per day. | |

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot | |
| Lost in the Moment and Found / int_44989f6f | comment |
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: The narrative notes the irony in Antsy running away because she's lost all hope that her mother will believe her or protect her from Tyler, saying that if she'd made a slightly different choice and decided to risk it anyway, her mother would have immediately realized what was happening and saved her. | |

Break the Cutie: Antsy is a happy little girl with two loving parents, a great home life, and a joy in everything she has for about five pages before her father dies suddenly. It only gets worse from there. | |

Trauma Button: Since Antsy's father died in a well-lit Target store, Antsy won't go in there for love or money and once wets herself rather than be forced through the doors. | |

Jar of the Bizarre: Deep among the Shop's shelves of oddities, Antsy finds several shelves with jars of lost teeth — specifically, from her and everyone else the Shop has drawn in to serve it, as a sort of Shrine to the Fallen. | |

The Cassandra | |
| Lost in the Moment and Found / int_859bbabc | comment |
The Cassandra: Tyler starts framing Antsy as a liar after the marriage, disagreeing with her on things like who cleaned the bathroom and why Antsy brought the plates to dinner. Because he's an adult and she's a child (and the lies are small and plausible things), her mother always believes him instead. | |

| Lost in the Moment and Found / int_9588c44b | comment |
First Period Panic: Antsy was seven when she ran away and Vineta never bothered to fill her in, so she reacts the way anyone would to waking up in a pool of blood. | |

Nothing Is Scarier | |
| Lost in the Moment and Found / int_cdfe12c3 | comment |
Nothing Is Scarier: Tyler never does anything explicit to Antsy, with the furthest he goes being unbuttoning the top button of her nightgown. But his constant menacing presence, his manipulations, his insistence on touching her whenever possible, and his threats to her make it very clear what he's planning, and even Antsy, who doesn't know exactly what it is, can tell it's nothing good. | |

"Ray of Hope" Ending | |
| Lost in the Moment and Found / int_d73e0f7f | comment |
"Ray of Hope" Ending: Antsy has left the Shop and can't return, and thanks to her Rapid Aging her own mother doesn't recognize her. Vineta has no intention of keeping her promise to tell others the truth about the Doors, and the cycle of exploitation is set to continue. But Hudson is starting to have doubts, there's hope that her mother might recognize her one day as the gap between Antsy's actual and physical age grows smaller, Tyler has been arrested and can't hurt Abigail, and Antsy finds her way to Eleanor West's school to tell them the truth about the Doors' cost. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
| Lost in the Moment and Found / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: In sharp contrast to Vineta and Hudson, the original Elodina let all of her charges know exactly what they were getting into and trained them to do likewise. When Vineta (or perhaps someone before her) broke the tradition, her ghost spent years struggling to get a message to Antsy so she could learn the truth. | |

Capital Letters Are Magic: Antsy not only notes that she can hear the importance in the way that Vineta says "Doors" as opposed to "doors", she can detect the opposite effect when speaking to Elodina, who only refers to them as "doors" because she doesn't revere or fear them. | |
