History TearJerker / SlayThePrincess

* The whole loop the Narrator created has caused endless suffering for the Hero and Princess. The worst part of it all is that he genuinely believes that this is saving everyone. His saving everyone is putting them into eternal stagnation, one they most likely never wanted or asked for.

** Also happens if you stab her during Chapter II. She's still smiling, even with tears running down her face. The Voice of the Smitten beyond consolation at your actions, distraught and furious as [[DrivenToSuicide he takes the knife to kill you]]. And there's nothing you or The Narrator can do to stop him. For one of the more jovial voices, it's heartrending seeing him break down so badly.

** What's even heartbreaking is that she is so desperate for any affection from the Player, she spends an eternity tormenting and abusing him in deeply misguided attempts show her [[MadLove affections]].

* The Spectre is one of the friendlier Chapter II Princesses. She's not happy about having been killed, but [[IJustWantToBeFree cares more about being free]], or "going home" as she calls it - she doesn't remember who or what she actually is but knows she's supposed to be out there, part of things. Intangible as she is she's searched everywhere she can reach, even behind the walls, and has concluded that the only way out is with the player's help. Help her, and she's grateful even to an unrepentant killer. Leave her behind and she panics.

* In certain conditions inside the final cabin, the Voice of the Hero and the Contrarian will have a discussion about throwing the pristine blade out of the window, with the latter going against it because it's not funny if he does it again. "What's the third beat?" Well, if you bring the blade down into the basement, the Princess will tell you the answer: since the Construct follows the rule of a narrative, [[ButThouMust you must use the knife]] - either to let the Princess kill you and reset the loop, or to kill the Princess permanently.

* "You’re on a path in the woods" ending, before the Princess stabs the Player to restart the loop, the Player can tell her "I love you". She ends up bursting into tears saying "I love you too!" before burying the blade into his heart.

* Near the final endings in the Cabin, both the player and the Voice of the Hero can express sadness at the Narrator's demise. Despite all the hell he causes you, the pair can't help but feel conflicted, since he's been with you from the beginning.

* The Wild is a route where the Princess and the Player are SharingABody and are able to regard their past mutual grievances without enmity. The Princess can sense that this is how they're supposed to be, but by focusing on the ways they've hurt each other, the player can tear free of her, turning her into the Wounded Wild - a Princess with her chest torn-open, fused with a tree. You can cut her out of it, but there's not much left of her ''to'' cut out. Just before the Shifting Mound claims her as another vessel, she says that it's cold, as most Princess variants do when they're collected. But the Wounded Wild weeps as she says it, what's left of her completely helpless in your hands.

* The "Just as you once were nothing" ending. To trigger it, you need to repeatedly refuse to enter the cabin during chapter 2. Each time, the Shifting Mound will react with bewilderment as she can do nothing without being brought a vessel. She rages against the player that she hates him, pleads with him, falls into melancholy, before finally accepting it as both she and the player fade away. [[CessationOfExistence Into nothing]]

** When she removes her mask, you see her shed a single tear.
