It seems like the authors of Stars Above are trying to invoke TearJerkers in almost every chapter. Here are the best examples:

• In Chapter 4, when Kyoko dies, Madoka appears to take her Soul Gem.
• In Chapter 5, Oriko reveals that she knows of Homura's suffering in the previous timelines, and they both recite the prayer from Episode 12.
• In Chapter 6, Homura says a final goodbye to the other Puellae Magi before leaving her homeworld, and two CallBacks are made: "Believe in us" and "Do your best."
• In Chapter 8, Tsukasa is killed in mid-sentence right in front of Kagami's eyes, just a few steps from safety. Kagami rushes downstairs and begs her to wake up, then pleads with Homura and the other Puellae Magi to bring her back to life... only to learn that all deaths really are final.
• The entirety of Chapter 9.
• Chapter 12: Kagami has a complete breakdown in the cafeteria, after Homura coldly shuts her out of her life.
