* The ''Literature/CradleSeries'' has a morally inverted example in ''Reaper''. When the Mad King arrives and is about to destroy Cradle, Akura Malice for one brief moment sees the pointlessness of all her scheming and tyranny. She hugs her daughter and apologizes for condemning her a moment before, and she regrets that her last conversation with her son Fury before his ascension was a fight. But sadly, the realization doesn't stick: as soon as the Mad King is driven off she reverts to her former manipulative, ruthless self.

* ''VisualNovel/TheGreatAceAttorney'': Ten years ago, Barok van Zieks had all the evidence he needed to realize that [[spoiler: his brother Klint was [[SerialKiller The Professor]]]] and [[spoiler: the man he prosecuted for being the Professor, his friend Genshin Asogi, was innocent]], and even once [[spoiler: suspected Klint of being The Professor]] but he simply couldn't bear the thought of [[spoiler: Klint being [[HiredToHuntYourself the violent killer that he himself had been hunting all along]]]] and instead ignored his doubt and believed [[spoiler: Stronghart's]] manipulative lies. Kazuma Asogi later repeats the same mistake by having [[spoiler: Ryunosuke]] basically spell out to him that [[spoiler: Stronghart, not Barok, is the leader of the Reaper conspiracy]] but ignoring it because [[spoiler: Barok convicted his father]] and he wants the guy to be guilty of ''something'', especially since he's spent years becoming a lawyer just for the purpose of [[spoiler: taking Barok down.]] Thankfully, unlike Barok, Kazuma has friends ready to smack sense into him and make him acknowledge the truth.
