History TearJerker / SilentHill3

** This is also one for the player if they played the first game. Harry, who the player spent the entire first game with, watching as this man put himself through a literal hell to save his daughter, is dead. Without so much as a struggle. And he's never coming back.

** Also the scene before the end credits, where she breaks down in tears when her thoughts turn to Harry.

** Also the scene before the ending, where she breaks down in tears while thinking of Harry after defeating the final boss.

** Douglas casually mentions that his son got fatally shot while trying to rob a bank, frustrated at the money that his father's business failed to bring in. The way he says it with such resignation says so much about how hardened the man is to any kind of loss or tragedy.
*** Also TruthInTelevision, since real-life private detectives are known to have a lot of difficulties finding work.

---> Several times, I considered abandoning her. That's what a terrible person I am

** In addition, Dad's Notebook exposes enormous inner turmoil that Harry had over baby Heather. [[AdultFear The poor man couldn't be sure that the baby he escaped with in the first game's Good Ending was Cheryl, Alessa, or some combination of the two, and it wore at him heavily.]] Imagine wondering if the kid you just brought home was yours or some strangers and not your own beloved child. And Harry seals it with one line:

-->'''Heather:''' Why did you have to do that for me?! What'll I do if you die?\\

-->'''Douglas:''' You.. remind me of my son...
-->'''Heather:''' I thought you said nobody was going to cry over you.
-->'''Douglas:''' Dead people don't cry.

--->'''Heather:''' You think you're Superman or something?
--->'''Douglas:''' You know... I always wanted to be him.
** As Heather goes to leave, Douglas points a gun at her, questioning if killing Heather would end all of this madness.
** Heather's attitude towards Douglas and his injured leg, trying to believe that maybe she'll be able to save him and that he'll be okay. Earlier she dismissed him and then got angry at how his investigations indirectly had her father murdered. Now she's trying to give him hope that he'll survive.
