• The end of the Genshiken manga gets this troper. The second-to-last chapter is the worst, actually, because it's one extended silent scene showing the whole group together for what'll probably be the last time in a long time. This troper relates to Genshiken (particularly Madarame) pretty strongly, and is absolutely terrified of that day coming when he'll probably never see all his friends together again, especially since it's the first group of friends he's ever felt all that close to.
  • The first ED, "Biidama", chokes this troper up for precisely this reason.
• Also, the fact that Madarame doesn't confess his feelings for Kasukabe for the sake of their friendship, even though in his heart he knows he might never get another chance. My god, Madarame is my favorite character, so to see him choke back his emotions instead of acting on them...
