Examining a certain object or area more than once will typically generate different results or comments from Aya, so it's advised to at least examine something twice, if not three. Sometimes you will have to check something twice to actually find it.

If Aya is surrounded by enemies and cannot attack or reload, rapidly move this button around to have her kick and push herself out of the situation (unfortunately, this deals no damage :\ ).

When activated, gameplay action will pause while you make a selection. A green wireframe will show you the trajectory and range of the specific energy highlighted. If Aya is blinking green then that energy will effect Aya. An ability will not be highlighted if there is insufficient MP or if Aya is affected by Silence.
Mitochondria need ATP to produce energy... An ATP bar will appear when Aya is combining this to put her Parasite Energy to use. If she is suddenly attacked during this process then the casting will be interrupted. However, MP will not be spent.

*Remember! The storage areas are not connected, so if you store something in Aya's sedan, you won't find it in the storage dresser of the motel. Any items that are left in Aya's sedan, the pickup truck, or Pierce's SUV will be easily accessable to Aya again relatively late in the game.
