If a character, often a hero, is in a coma, unconscious, ill beyond lucidity, has had their [[Soul]] stolen, has just had major surgery or whatever, then the odds are that they will have a friend or family member who refuses to leave their side. Ignoring all distractions and necessities, they will keep watch over them. Other well-meaning characters may urge the watcher to go take care of themselves, but their efforts always fail. As long as their charge is helpless, the watcher isn't going ''anywhere''.

* Mikiya Kokutoh visits Shiki every damn week for two years that she spends in coma in ''[[Kara no Kyoukai:|Kara no Kyoukai]]''. This even earns him the nickname "Puppy-kun" among the hospital staff.
