Katawa Shoujo/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

=== Emi ===

* The discussion after the exams, where she explains {{spoiler|why she can't rely on you.}}

{{spoiler|'''Emi:''' Because, Hisao. I've already had everything I knew ripped away from me once. I don't know what I'd do if it happened again. ... So I can't rely on you. Or the Nurse. Or anyone else. Just me.}} }}

* The scene with Emi opening up to Hisao, a week after {{spoiler|she threw him out of her house for bringing up a touchy issue.}}

=== Hanako ===

* Hanako's bad end as well. It's already shocking enough to see her {{spoiler|suddenly lash out at you}}, but what really drives it home is the fact that it's very easy to think the choices that lead to it are the right ones. {{spoiler|Most of what you've done to try and help has actually been hurting her, and her rant against your insistence on protecting her is entirely justified.}} Again, this one calls [[What the Hell, Player?]] while forcing the reader to seriously reevaluate why they've become so emotionally attached to her in the first place.

** Her Neutral ending isn't much better. {{spoiler|She and Hisao do spend a much quieter evening in her room, having dinner and playing chess while making small talk... but there's a lingering sadness in the whole scene. Specially as it's implied that, while remaining friends, Hisao will keep to put his needs aside for hers, which will eventually turn their deal into a self-destructive one.}} Who's to say that {{spoiler|Hanako won't eventually snap at him}}...?

** Speaking of Hanako, the reveal of how she came to be scarred, and why she's got ([[The Woobie|some of]]) the psychological issues she has.

** Hanako's {{spoiler|panic attack is quite upsetting and rather uncomfortable to watch, especially considering that ''everyone'' involved tries to make things better after the inital faux-pas, but it simply doesn't work. The next time you see her, she's curled up on her bed, alone and weeping.}}

** Hanako is basically a walking tearjerker. {{spoiler|She's horribly scarred from a fire that killed her parents, one of which she presumably watched die before her very eyes, all her friends she had before the accident became her bullies and she was consistently bullied and excluded throughout elementary and middle school. At the orphanage in which she lived she had to see most other kids get adopted eventually, but was never adopted herself. Good god is that depressing.}}

* Rin's first H-Scene. {{spoiler|It doesn't help that you find her alone on the floor, sulking and a complete mess. The dark background and music only makes things worse. It feels like you are destroying her in some way while you two have sex in her depressed, almost insane state. The possible bad end you can get after that is utterly soul wrenching just to top it all off.}}

** Even more so in her bad ending, where {{spoiler|she invokes [[But Now I Must Go]], as she has decided to accept her scholarship in a Tokyo art college. Considering her behavior as well as what [[Driven to Suicide|happened to Sae's husband]], and [[Fridge Horror|how she begs Hisao to forget about her...]]}}

** Possibly her biggest tear-jerker of all is {{spoiler|Rin breaking down in front of Hisao and shouting; '''"I have no idea what's wrong with me!"'''}}

=== Shizune ===
