Added one more mention of Quattro torturing Vivio, which is in Nightmare Fuel, but not on Tear Jerker.

Added DiffLines:

** And speaking of Vivio, her scene where she's tortured by Quattro in Episode 18 is both chilling and depressing.

* Nanoha's NearDeathExperience in the flashback from episode 9. Made even more heart-wrenching when they focus on Nanoha [[spoiler:as she tries to expedite her own recovery: struggling to stand, then ''falling face-first onto the floor and trying to crawl to her feet'' while in obvious agony...]] then Shamal says that at the time, they thought [[spoiler:her injuries might end her career and possibly even cripple her for life]].

** Subaru's HeroicBSOD after [[spoiler:she fails to prevent her sister's kidnapping]] and her UnstoppableRage wears off. Her devices destroyed, her barrier jacket shredded, her body heavily damaged ([[spoiler:to [[RoboticReveal reveal her cybernetic components]]]]), she collapses on the ground in wails of inconsolable grief. It's ''heartbreaking'', and all the more so because this is the most [[ThePollyanna preternaturally sweet]] [[GenkiGirl and bubbly character]] in the series that we're seeing, utterly broken.
** The flashback from episode 17 where [[spoiler: Erio is told that who he thought were his family, weren't – and is taken away from them]].

** Caro crying over the injured and unconscious bodies of [[spoiler:Erio and Fried]] while, overhead, a fleet of gadget drones is destroying [[spoiler:Riot Force 6 HQ]]. Then she unleashes her [[GodzillaThreshold true power]] for the first time – while sobbing "please don't destroy our home!". Remember that Caro was banished from her tribe as a small child, and spent much of her life moving around from one place to another, constantly rejected and unwanted. Riot Force 6 is one of the only true homes, with friends and family around her, that she's ever known... and now [[spoiler:they're being destroyed in front of her eyes]].

* Speaking of that, Teana's breakdown at the end of episode 8, when we see just how deeply scarred she is by the death of her big brother (the [[PromotionToParent only family she had left]]) and the horrible things that were then said about him and their family name. After pushing herself to dangerous levels in training, the plan she and Subaru came up with and worked so hard on is foiled by Nanoha with little effort. Then, when Nanoha tries to lecture her, the poor girl finally breaks and tries to open fire on Nanoha. As she's charging up her attack, she's screaming and sobbing that she ''needs'' to get stronger, no matter the cost to herself, because she can't take losing anyone else she cares about.
