** What got this Troper's waterworks going was that [[spoiler: after that scene, we were treated to Chocolat sensing Canon's passing and proceeds to '''howl into the night.''' This happens while Ms Hazama looks confusingly at Chocolat, unaware of what has just happened]]

* The very last episode ends with [[spoiler:Soushi becoming one with Festum. This is a pretty way of saying KilledOffForReal.]] Sure, he's [[spoiler: reborn]] but put yourself in Kazuki's shoes. This makes it a total of four times that he's [[spoiler: lost Soushi in some way. First after their friendship hit the rocks after the whole eye incident, then he gets kidnapped with everyone thinking he was killed, ''then'' he actually does get assimilated and ''then'' he dies.]] And poor Kazuki now has to - probably voluntarily - raise a child that looks just like [[spoiler: the person that meant more to him than anyone else]]. Let that sink in.

* The real kicker of the OVA is that, the executives of Tatsumiyajima are actually [[spoiler:forced to put up the L Plan in order to save the island......''with the hope of everyone coming back alive'' (they even prepared enough lifeboats for everyone)]]. Instead [[spoiler:they unwittingly send the children to their destruction]]; the result is ''[[{{Understatement}} longlasting]]''.

* While they only pop up a few times throughout the special, Kazuki and Soushi still manage to tug at a fistfull of heartstrings. When they bump into each other in the hallway one could cut the tension between them with a dull knife. Both are clearly torn up about the break in their relationship but are unable to actually take the first step. When Kenji shows up to challange Kazuki to another fight - Soushi has already left at that point - Kazuki forces an incredibly brittle smile and his voice is still horribly broken.

Let that sink in.

* In episode 2, while the pilots still have hope [[spoiler: that Hiroto is still alive, the viewers are "treated" to a conversation between Billy's brother and another pilot about what to do with his remains.]] Said [[spoiler: remains]] fit inside a very small cooler. If there was any hope left for us it was brutally crushed.

** Worse? Kazuki doesn't know that Soushi is alive. In the next episode we learn from Fumihiko that he wants to go and avenge Soushi, not rescue him. If he did that he'd definitely die, given how advanced his assimilation is. Kazuki wants to go on a suicide mission to destroy the ones that took Soushi away from him. Wow.

** The way all his negative thoughts just come spilling out of him makes it even worse. "You're probably made at me. You probably hate me. That's why you wanted me to fight and die, right?" The audience ''knows'' that that is not what Soushi feels but Kazuki hates himself so much he actually came to believe that this is how it is.

* Episode 17 gives us [[spoiler:[[DyingAlone Canon's]] [[FadeToWhite disappearance]]]]. Long story short, [[spoiler:she spends her last drop of life (literally) in the episode, finding the best future for themselves, only failed and, to avoid the BadFuture altogether, she chooses to give up her life, even if it means ''[[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy she gives up the chance to live on together with Kazuki, the one she loves]]'']]. All these happens during the annual festival [[spoiler:with her dressed in Shuoko's outfit]]. angela's new Ending Theme just speed up the tears.

** The human army [[spoiler: dropping bombs on unarmed civilians that have already ''surrendered'' and Maya being forced to shoot a plane]] certainly counts.
** The decision to travel through Festum infested wasteland is met with [[spoiler: whole families commiting suicide.]]

** The worst part? [[spoiler: They all ended up [[KillEmAll disappearing]] anyway]]
