Line 6:
So, you have this character that's important to the story. Maybe a [[Tragic Hero]], or a [[Friendly Target|family member or friend]], [[The Rival]], or a major antagonist. They're [[Killed Off for Real]], and there's a [[Meaningful Funeral|funeral]]. [[Due to The Dead|With three people attending]]. For added pathos, [[It Always Rains At Funerals|it may be raining]]. Seems only the [[True Companions]] care enough to be there.
 
This can be used to show how the person had pushed everyone away until he had a [[Zero -Percent Approval Rating]], or how trivial and shallow his life was, or how fair-weather his so-called-friends were, or how [[Hero With Bad Publicity]] lasted after death, or [[What You Are in The Dark]] resulted in his death with no one knowing the truth.
 
Distinct from [[And There Was Much Rejoicing]] in that the reaction needn't be positive, only largely indifferent except for a select few, and usually [[Played for Drama]] instead of [[Played for Laughs|laughs]].
