Ghost in the Shell (1995 film)/Tear Jerker
- Though sad moments can be rare, the results of hacking can be heartbreaking at times; one notable example is in GITS 1, when the trash collector commits crimes because he believes his wife is having an affair, and his daughter thinks he is the parent having the affair. Upon being arrested, however, it turns out he not only has no wife or daughter, but he has been living alone in a tiny apartment, and the photo of his daughter was just a picture of him; in actuality, his memory was manipulated, brain possibly damaged, and his life potentially ruined because another person was unwilling to get their hands dirty.
