Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors/Tear Jerker

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Just LOOK at Akane's face during the Sudoku puzzle.
    • The MUSIC during the Sudoku puzzle amplified the sadness even more. Good lord, the music....
  • Aoi's face when he finds his sister's body in the incinerator.
  • Young Junpei and Akane's farewell on the hilltop.... this troper was bawling all through the true ending.
  • The Safe Ending: Snake, upon learning of Clover's murder at Ace's hands, endures getting shot six times in order to restrain Ace long enough for them both to die in the incinerator. Part of it is to atone for not being able to protect her, and partially so Junpei, Seven, and Lotus can get away, despite the fact that all three of them are begging him not to.
  • Consider the way everyone reacts to Santa taking June hostage. Clover is especially hurt, since Santa knew about the leaf words that gave her hope. Santa's response is to threaten to put a bullet in her head, spit flying from his mouth. Of course, it's all part of the plan, but that doesn't make it any easier.
