->'''Handmaiden:''' Then tell me of its absence.
->'''Kreia:''' It is standing atop of the summit of a great mountain, the winds tearing about you, and finding yourself buried alive - trapped, helpless and alone. It is knowing what you want to say and never finding the words. It is a chorus, replaced with silence. Hearing teachings without meaning. It is like having the energy of youth, and feeling the cloak of the years fall upon you, and knowing you are weak, fragile and a thing easily discarded. It is like having a beloved pupil to whom you have shared everything, sacrificed everything, and then having them turn from you... and forget all you were.

** If Revan was male, the game also assumes that you followed Bastila's romance. If set to Dark Side, you can come across a Sith holocron that Bastila made on Korriban, where she decided to leave the Sith movement to find her lover, however long it takes. If set to Light Side she will talk to Carth after the Exile leaves Telos, acknowledging that Revan left her behind for her protection, but still missing him and wondering why he did so.

** The meeting with Carth if Revan was played as female is rough to watch. He tells the Exile that he's been waiting for her to come back for ''four years'', and that the reason she left him behind was because she couldn't bring 'those she loved' to wherever she was going. Carth's heartache, loneliness and resolve in his final line is palpable.

* Malachor, the final world of ''{{Knights of the Old Republic}} II'', is incredibly emotionally affecting - it feels like the last echo of the World.
** Kreia stating that in the Exile's memories, they can no longer picture the beautiful world Malachor was before they dropped the superweapon on it, instead, it's always the desolate landscape that they caused.
* The possible HeroicSacrifice of [[spoiler:Visas Marr]] would count as a TearJerker. If it wasn't the player's choice to do so. [[YouBastard You monster]].
** The intended version would have been much, much worse, with the Exile's companions confronting [[spoiler:Kreia]] on their own only to be beaten down and imprisoned in order to force the Exile to choose between freeing them and making the final boss fight harder, or allowing them to die for an easier boss fight. Meanwhile, Atton manages to escape capture only to sacrifice himself in a one-on-one battle with Darth Sion - and if he loses, Sion tortures him and leaves him, broken and dying, for the Exile to find. The audio file for Atton's death exists in the game's files, and it is ''heart-rending.''
---> '''Atton:''' Hurts... when I laugh...
*** Considering Atton's back story as a [[spoiler:former Sith assassin]], dying for fighting a Sith Lord could also be interpreted as a RedemptionEqualsDeath moment, especially if he has been turned to the Light Side via the Exile's influence.
** Seeing [[spoiler:Remote being destroyed.]] It's so sad to see [[spoiler:Bao-Dur losing his best friend.]] It's even worse since it has been confirmed that Droids have no afterlife.
*** Although it ''is'' possible that [[spoiler: Remote doesn't die.]] Nonetheless it's still crushing that [[spoiler: Bao-Dur's future is never revealed. Made even worse given that Kreia embellishes on the future of everyone else.]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnD95TDIsAc The music in the Jedi Enclave.]] And the visuals of what happened to the place sure didn't help.
** There's also Kreia, moving to the benches. She has, from Peragus, projected the image of a cold and aloof mentor figure. She hid all of her pain from losing her hand on the Harbinger. Even discounting GameplayAndStorySegregation, she has fought alongside the Exile without protest and with the capabilities of the younger and more able-bodied crew. And then suddenly, she is unequivocally presented as bone-weary and old - you can feel every year she has and then some as she makes to sit down. It doubles when you remember that, after her hand was cut off, Atton tells the Exile that she seemed to not want to display any sign of weakness around the Exile, and then allows them to see this...
