Line 9:
** Likewise, in the same game and same route, the childhood scene appearing during the {{spoiler|symbolic}} marathon, where {{spoiler|the protagonist, in their childhood, couldn't keep his promise of finishing the race and giving to Shiori at the finishing line the headband she entrusted him as a charm, due to an injury. Seeing them both crying out of sadness and frustration}} is just as heartwrenching, and gives the player further determination to mash those buttons to keep the protagonist running during this {{spoiler|[[My Greatest Second Chance|Greatest Second Chance]]}}.
* The famous "Yubikiri shita janai!!" ("What about our [[Pinky Swear]] promise!!") scene in ''Nijiiro no Seishun'', especially in the Original Drama Soundtrack, where [[Sachiko Sugawara]]'s performance is even more heartwrenching. But in either case, Saki's cry from the heart is extremely palpable, and you can't help but feel ''horrible''.
* The scene in ''Irodori no Love Song'', where {{spoiler|Suzune is no longer able to hold out her sadness at seeing her love for the protagonist unnoticed by him, culminating with an [[Armor -Piercing Slap]]}}. Seeing her in such an emotional turmoil, you can't help but hate both the protagonist for {{spoiler|his obliviousness}}, and the game's developpers for not offering a {{spoiler|Suzune}} Route possibility to the players!

* The anime scene concluding the Childhood Mode, big time. As the protagonist is moving away from Hibikino, young Hikari tries to runs after him, ultimately can't catch up, trips, and starts crying at the loss of her beloved one. Oh boy, is that one absolutely heartwrenching to see.
* Kotoko's "Big Reconciliation" Event. After a messy quarrel between her and the protagonist when he {{spoiler|instinctively rushed to the hospital after getting news of her having suffered an accident from a panicked Bakuretsuzan, leaving out a date with Hikari, which Kotoko, as [[The Matchmaker]] between him and Hikari, [[Armor -Piercing Slap|didn't approve at all]]}}, she avoided him for a whole month, part out of resentment, part out of pride and shyness of reconcilating with him. No longer able to hold out her feelings after that, she isolates herself in the Tea Club Room, and breaks in tears. The sight of that prideful and strong girl cracking down like that is ''poignant''.
* Kaedeko's {{spoiler|Last Fireworks Festival}} event. {{spoiler|The poor girl, in tears, tries so hard to tell the protagonist she loves so much about her and her family moving to Hokkaido the next day, and ultimately can't.}}
* Kaori's "Farewell" Event, where she suddenly tries to break ties with the protagonist, fearing to trust in him and consequently be hurt by him. The brutality of the Event, coupled with the heartwrenching variation of the game's [[Leitmotif]] played in the background, makes the scene powerful.
