* Also in ''Crooked Kingdom'', and also a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}, [[spoiler:Inej's final chapter where, for the first time since she was enslaved, she's allowed safety and a full stomach for no other reason than she has friends who love her. Afterward, Kaz offers her the ship she dreamed of having to hunt slavers. The final crest of the series is him reuniting Inej with her parents, whom he had located and transported over. Inej, who's been such a sober disciplined character for much of the duology, almost faints in shock and begins crying. Kaz holds her up and genuinely asks if he upset her and made the "wrong choice", to which she clarifies she's crying TearsOfJoy.

* Possibly the worst tearjerker example in ''Crooked Kingdom''. [[spoiler:Near the end, a DiabolusExMachina has Matthias shot by an angry young Drüskelle who regards him as a traitor for turning on his former beliefs. He survives long enough to find Nina and proclaim his love for her one last time before [[DiedInYourArmsTonight dying in her arms]]. A distraught Nina reacts with a SkywardScream, then desperately tries to bring him back, but gives up when she realizes he'll just [[CameBackWrong come back wrong]]. And then we see Matthias in an idealized version of his homeland (which may either be his entrance into {{Heaven}} or a DyingDream), with his beloved wolves coming to welcome him home...]]
