Line 2:
An end-of-story memorial service given by a support or surviving major character in memory of less fortunate characters. May serve as a handy explanation of what would otherwise be a [[Gainax Ending]] to wrap things up and tell you that no, the heroes are not [[He's Just Hiding|"just hiding"]], or merely an emotive, tragic summative on the sorry affair.
See [[The Hero Dies]] and [[Kill'Em All]] for what may lead to this kind of ending being needed. May be used to prevent a [[Gainax Ending]]. [[Bittersweet Ending
Note that this is both an [[Ending Trope]] and a [[Death Trope]], so expect major spoilers... especially since the appearance of this trope is an indication that the main character [[The Hero Dies|might have bought it.]]
So read on at your own risk.
