Abandoned Area: The mansion, where Kitty claims to live, hasn't been inhabited in fifty years. Most of the windows are boarded up, and the ceiling has collapsed in several places. Nate's mum went in to look for firewood but fell through a hole in the floor. Nate finds her, injured and dehydrated but alive, when he goes into the mansion to look for Kitty.

Disappeared Dad: When Nate was six, his dad moved to New York City to be with his American girlfriend, Carrie. He used to say he was going to visit, and then cancel because he was too busy. He did visit a year later, but Nate was so angry that he insulted him and told him how much better Gary was. They haven't seen each other since.

Calling Parents by Their Name: Kitty refers to her dad as James. Nate thinks it's weird, but thinks it's because she's posh. It's actually because James isn't really her father.
