Line 86:
* In ''[[Silent Hill 2]]'', James' reaction to killing {{spoiler|Eddie}} in self defense is like this, but it's ironic because {{spoiler|he's already killed his wife, although he's blocked it out of his mind}}.
* In [[Final Fantasy 7]], Barret tries to make peace with his old friend, Dyne, by mentioning the man's daughter (whom Barret had rescued and adopted after their town was destroyed). Dyne refuses, noting that not only would she not remember him, but that his hands are too stained to carry her any more. Then he jumps off a cliff, leaving Barret to admit that [[Moral Dissonance|his hands aren't any cleaner.]]
* Inverted in ''[[EVE Online]]'' chronicle ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20150427081645/http://www.eveonline.com/background/potw/default.asp?cid=14-07-05 Hands of a Killer]'', where the [[Heroic Sociopath|owner of said hands]] gleefully admits that while he has never committed physical violence, he is nevertheless responsible of [[A Million Is a Statistic|deaths of countless people]], [[We Have Reserves|including his own crew]]. It's all a part of his recruiting speech.
* In the ending of [[Play Station 3]] [[Updated Rerelease]] of ''[[Eternal Sonata]]'', Frederic Chopin does this when he wakes up following his defeat in battle and sees that Polka is gone and that the world around him hasn't changed. He blames himself for not being able to do anything to stop her sacrifice. "Why? The dream was at an end. Oh no. It can't be. Not Polka."
