** The ending line of the scene is especially heart wrenching:
--> With one last, quiet chime, the music box wound down. I was left with nothing but silence and the cold pool of tears over my heart.

** No, really, let that sink in for a minute. To Snake, ''Clover has gone missing and is probably presumed dead.'' Given what we know about their relationship both from 999 and from what Clover tells us in VLR, how protective they are of each other after being put through ''two'' Nonary Games and the way he absolutely ''' ''snaps'' ''' in 999's Safe End timeline, [[spoiler: when he learns Clover is dead,]] the chances of him [[spoiler: surviving something like the Radical-6 outbreak]] seems slim at best.
** And you just ''try'' and picture Snake or ''anyone'' from the first game [[spoiler: either succumbing to Radical-6 and killing themselves or living through that nightmare and having to survive in a post-apocalyptic wasteland]] without getting emotional.

* The K ending. According to WordOfGod, [[spoiler: K, who on this path is Sigma's clone/son Kyle, was the one who broke Dio's bracelet, preventing himself and Phi from going through the white door. He knew that Sigma, his father, would only be able to save one of them from the bracelet penalty with the neostygimine, and wanted to see if Sigma would choose him, even knowing that Sigma's 22-year-old consciousness would not remember him. But Sigma chose Phi. Even though it was apparently out of necessity, since Sigma didn't know that K's armor was unlocked, one can only imagine how that made Kyle feel.]]
