- After the arrival of Saati Namba, the residence's electricity consumption escalated due to Hitoshi's Personal Computer needing to be constantly running for Saati.
- During the thunderstorm that allowed Toeni to gain physical form, the house was damaged to the point of causing leaks in the ceiling. Saati scanned 581 leaks and attempted to solve the problem by having Hitoshi drink 581 cans of soda and use the empty cans to catch the dripping water.
