Line 54:
** Playing the PSP version, I can't really blame you for crying, but the manga's handling of the event made it all the more depressing. Especially the flashbacks to Kei's childhood, and him forcing everyone to go on ahead without him.
* A horrific and heartrending one is found in [[Strange Journey]]. In the depths of Jack's Squad HQ, you will find a bunch of demons who have been experimented upon, and even as they curse humans and will them to die for [[Humans Are Bastards|their incredibly abominable acts]], the Protagonist realizes he has but a single thing to give, to allow them peace - disconnect the machinery keeping them alive.
** And in either the Law or Chaos path, if you've been talking to your fellow crewmen, you have gotten to learn about them and know their personalities, from the [[Southern
** As an alignment-affecting choice earlier, you an either choose to side with the demons seeking revenge upon [[Complete Monster|Jack's Squad]] or to ask Zelenin to use her song to blast those demons, the demons you earlier saved from experimentation and thus are more victims than anything else, allowing a throng of mindless holy zombies to survive.

[[Papa Wolf|Belial and Nebiros]] certainly try to help, but honestly the poor girl is a burgeoning sorceress with powers she can barely understand and can only see through an innocent child's eyes, which makes it all the worse when you have to refuse her requests for friendship and prepare to kill her. And even then, she just cries a bit, calls you a meanie in her plaintive voice, and fades into the darkness...
