History TearJerker / PrincessEvangile

** Of the after-story route endings, Tamie's is arguably the saddest. Compared to the other endings where the White Lily Society loses and Masaya is forced out of Vincennes, the other four at least had the girls' parents and relatives helping him adjust back to life outside of Vincennes, such helping him to pay for living expenses or offering him jobs on the side. Not so much here, where Tamie's parents, while liking Masaya, are comparatively less well-off, so Masaya is more-or-less forced to get by on his own with his remaining lottery winnings, with only Tamie herself being able to help him adjust.

* At the end of the first chapter of Tamie's route, just as Masaya and Tamie start to realize that they like one another as more than just friends, disaster strikes when a sign, blown free by a typhoon-force wind, hits her in the head and leaves her unconscious. That's already tragic enough given that they're already close to one another, but it becomes heartbreaking when he finds out that she doesn't recognize him anymore thanks to her getting amnesia from the concussion. Sure, it turns out that it's easily curable, but those last few seconds of the first chapter, and Masaya's words, are devastating to read. It's clear that deep inside, he was emotionally hurt, and felt that [[ItsAllMyFault this whole mess was his doing]].

* All the after-story routes in ''W Happiness'' have [[spoiler:the White Lily Society losing the Grande Vote, thus meaning Masaya has to leave Vincennes. It's bitter in the sense that he won't be able to see his friends for at least a year. The only saving grace is that he's now together with one of the girls he's chosen to date.]] The music and scenery shown during the graduation ceremony help to highlight just how much of a BittersweetEnding these routes are.

* Marika's backstory, once you play her route in ''W Happiness'', is really saddening. It turns out that not only her mother, but even her father, died when she was really young. This left her grandmother to be her sole guardian. Because of this, she came to see her grandmother in a really high position. When Masaya enters the picture, and her grandmother forces her to do something that contradicts everything that's been taught to her, she ends up with a ConflictingLoyalty that almost breaks her.

** His backstory is even worse. His father was already a despicable ConMan when he was a kid, and his mom was forced to leave her only son behind when he still worried about the fate of his now-divorced father. As we know from the prologue, his concern for his father was AllForNothing.

* Masaya's situation at the start of the story is pitiful. ParentalAbandonment for the shallowest reason possible, being hunted down by {{Yakuza}} goons, and practically broke and on the run. It's a real miracle that he didn't snap under all that hardship.
