[[Death Is Dramatic]], depressing, and emotional enough, but sometimes, just for the extra emotional kick-in-the-gut [[Tear Jerker]], the author will make a character die in the arms of a futile onlooker. As the onlooker (usually one of the dying character's [[True Companions]]) holds them dearly, the dying may [[Go Out with a Smile|flash them a smile]] or [[Famous Last Words|make a final dramatic statement]] before finally [[Big Sleep|closing their eyes]] and succumbing to their fate.
