She tells Pinkie that the only way she'll go away and stop tormenting her go away is if Pinkie commits suicide. The voice tells her to grab a knife from the kitchen and use it on herself. Pinkie fights Pinkamena every step of the way up to the end; breaking down more and more, until the voice at last forces her to end her life.

** What about his state of envy leading up to that? He'd been going out of his way helping set things up for Twilight and her friends beforehand, yet the attention he gets from said girls at get-togethers, and his obvious enjoyment of it, made clear that he felt it was worth it. Then some owl comes along to do the same thing and most of that attention, for a while, seems to be going to the owl. Spike even sees the girl he had a crush on give the owl the same gift she gave him. As wrong as it was to react the way he did, it's difficult not to pity him.

* It's initially more creepy than sad, but a lot of Twilight Sparkle's breakdown--the bit where she thinks Celestia will disown her for being ''tardy'', the way she seems to view her Smartypants doll as something worthy of losing[=/=]fighting a friend over, and ''especially'' her mistaking a random bunch of laughing fillies as maliciously mocking her with horrible grins on their faces--becomes this if you think about it too hard. Especially if you realize that according to the premise of the show, she knew very little of friendship before the events of the show began. What sort of childhood you must have had, Twilight...

*** From said Lighter and Softer second half, [[http://alexwarlorn.deviantart.com/art/Healed-Ponies-POVs-Applejack-260585443 Applejack's story]]. [[spoiler:Applejack is invited to Canterlot in order to fully understand just how painful the honest and absolute truth is. She starts by seeing many of the ponies around ponyville, and the full weight of their pain almost forces her to close the shutter if she hadn't stopped it with her own hoof. The images get more drastic and dramatic, and several painful truths come rushing to Applejack. Truths such as we all die eventually, your sister had a nightmare adventure, and Twilight will outlive you all and face the pony of death with new elements of harmony. Yet the thing that breaks her down the most is the fact that she could have had a child if she chose to stay in the city and earn a cutie mark from there. Perhaps the most tearjerker part is just how broken AJ is once they force her to stop, or how upset Celestia is at Applejack just not giving in.]]
