** For [[YourMilageMayVary some]], [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=136 "Still such anger."]] It makes you think, maybe Muut's upset about Annie's shunning the guides. It's a feeling familiar with most [[AdultFear parents]].

--->Robot: Let it be known. In this tomb of ancients, the angel called forth a spirit of the dead. You see how easily she gave life, and how easily she took it away.

** [[spoiler: Shadow 2 was kicked out of the forest by his own family for not hating the people of the court]].

*** Even more so when many chapters later it is discovered that [[spoiler:Surma was doomed to die ever since Antimony was born. Ever since Surma gave birth Antimony drained Surma of her inner fire. It's no stretch to assume that Antimony's father blamed her for Surma's death.]]

* From ''Chapter 35: Parley and Smitty are in this on''
** [[spoiler:Apparently shadow was kicked out of the forest by his own family for not hating the people of the court]].

** Rey and Annie's fight in chapter 31. Rey finds out [[spoiler: Surma tricked him into thinking she loved him]] and Annie finds out [[spoiler: her mothers death is indirectly her fault]] [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=806 It's horrible]]

** There's something very [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=671 quietly]] [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=672 heartbreaking]] about Ysengrin's body, and the way it has withered away from the proud wolf he once was. And more than that, Ysengrin seems to be deeply resentful of his own physical weakness without the suit of bark armor he wears. To see such a proud figure filled with such self-loathing is, in it's own way, quite painful. In Coyote's own words, he seems so...''pathetic'' despite his anger, pride and hate.

* [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=815 This page]] from Chapter 31 makes [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=95 the penultimate page]] of this one even sadder.

* Zimmy's [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=464 breakdown]]
* The ending of Chapter 13 ([[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=249 starting from here]]) can hit pretty hard, particularly [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=257 this strip]].
* The idea that Annie [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=532 had to]] be the Guide for her mother is highly sniffle-worthy. Kat's reaction on the next page helps somewhat.
** The fact that Tom Siddell didn't add a little snippet of wit at the bottom and instead just left it blank lends to how sad that page really is.
* Taken as a whole all of Chapter 25 where we learn the details behind [[ArcWords she died and we did nothing]].
** The Skywatcher's monologue at the end of that chapter: "I continue to turn my face upwards, measuring the same temperature, the same humidity, radiation and thousands of other variables. But now a new metric has been added. The number of angels I have seen is "one". And I will keep watch for more."

* Given how Annie usually acts, seeing her break down emotionally [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=93 like this]] is very upsetting.
** In this case, it's important that that's where her emotions (''all'' of them) started flooding back, period. That's bound to go a little differently.
* How Jeanne was [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=779 trapped in the ravine]].
* Rey and Annie's fight in chapter 31. Rey finds out [[spoiler: Surma tricked him into thinking she loved him]] and Annie finds out [[spoiler: her mothers death is indirectly her fault]] [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=806 It's horrible]]
* [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=814 This page also.]] [[spoiler: Looks like they actually loved each other.]]
* Thanks to recent developments, [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=416 some previously sad pages]] become much worse.
* [[spoiler:Kat "deactivating" the robot at his request]] [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=899 at the end]] of Chapter 33.
* There's something very [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=671 quietly]] [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=672 heartbreaking]] about Ysengrin's actual body, and the way it has withered away from the proud wolf he once was. And more than that, Ysengrin seems to be deeply resentful of his own actual physical weakness without the suit of bark armor he wears. To see such a proud figure filled with such self-loathing is, in it's own way, quite painful. In Coyote's own words, he seems so...''pathetic'' despite his anger and pride and hate.
