* Seeing {{spoiler|Serenity crash}} in the Big Damn Movie can be this. After all, ''she's'' the main character of Firefly, and watching her "die" like that is one of the only parts of the movie that can make this troper cringe every time. Sure, {{spoiler|she gets better}}, but that's heartbreaking. {{spoiler|Wash's death}} seconds later does ''not'' help.
* I really well up when River tells her seriously wounded brother Simon: "You take care of me, Simon. You've always taken care of me. My turn." This is both for the sentiment of thanks and appreciation for his dedication and care, and the symbolism. River now has control over herself and can look after herself in the 'verse. It's heightened for me by the fact that one my best friends is a River Tam lookalike, with [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Borderline_personality_disorder:Borderline personality disorder|BPD]], which has very similar symptoms to those River shows - and really gives me hope that one day my friend can lead a normal life too.
* How can you forget about when Simon gets shot? When he's lying there thinking hes about to die and he turns to River and starts apologising that he won't be able to look after her anymore.
