Living Emotional Crutch: Difference between revisions

 

== Visual Novels ==

* In ''[[Fate/stay night]]'' Shirou is a crutch for Sakura, though this is not immediately evident. {{spoiler|He's the only one she'll let kill her, even after [[Woobie of Mass Destruction|she loses it completely.]]}}

* In [[Katawa Shoujo]], {{spoiler|Shizune is one for Misha}}, as seen in her route.

** Also, {{spoiler|Emi}} keeps people at arm's reach to avert having someone become this. {{spoiler|And specially, to not suffer if she loses someone else she loves, like it happened with her father who died in the accident that took her legs.}}

* [[Nice Guy|Ryo]] [[Ho Yay|serves as this]] for [[Stepford Smiler|Hibiki]] in [[Lux-Pain]]. Hibiki crossed the [[Despair Event Horizon]] in his backstory and it was Ryo (and the nurse [[Cool Big Sis|Honoka]] that brought him back to almost complete health...only for it to shatter when Ryo gets a new, beautiful assistant who Hibiki gets jealous of as she serves as a better caretaker of his best friend than him. And of course, Ryo being unaware of his best friend's feelings also makes him completely lose it. Once you beat the game again and you get the cutscene where Ryo tells him not to disappear on him again, you can see that Ryo is what keeps Hibiki from completely going insane. Ironically {{spoiler|the normal ending implies that they serve as an emotional crutch to each other as in the normal ending when Hibiki is killed by a crazed Honoka, you don't get to talk to Ryo anymore as the game implies he locked himself in the library shocked that he lost the last person that was important to him.}}
