** [[spoiler: The insert song / special ending theme, ''True Feelings'' is the arguably the most heart-wrenching part about the episode, and maybe the entire show. It's a song about Nanako yearning to visit her mom in heaven and telling her dad that she will always love him.]]

** Same here. And it's especially poignant since [[spoiler: many considered Nanako kind of annoying the first few hours of the game. "GOd, she says that EVERY TIME!" is what I, among others, told myself. But you get so used to it, and through her social link you get to see just how sad this child is. You help her through it, you help mend a tiny broken family... and then tragedy strikes and you come home to that empty house and you realize just how much you actually loved your "lil' sis", and how true the old "you never know what you have until it's gone" cliché can ring.]] This troper had to sob into a pillow for a solid minute the first time he returned home after the abduction.
