Violinist of Hameln/Tear Jerker

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

    • This Troper has diagnosed dry eye and still ended up tearing.
  • Hamel's childhood before the disaster of Anthem. Living in abject poverty? Check. Loving mother whose sanity is slowly unraveling? Check. Being pelted with stones by children and adults alike? Check. Having your hometown invaded and being blamed for it? Check. Your mother frozen and carried away in front of your very eyes? Check. Snapping and killing everyone on sight except for the one friend you ever made, who promptly called you a monster and shunned you? Check. And he was so sweet and adorable. Humans Are the Real Monsters.
