History YMMV / SleeplessDomain

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Undine telling Tessa to not care about Sylvia and Sally's complaints, and Tessa saying that if the girls do well that night without her, it will be a boost of confidence.

* NightmareFuel: The EliteMook from the second chapter, [[spoiler: especially given that it killed Gwen, Sally and Sylvia and Undine is dying]], as well as the simple fact that, oh yeah, monsters swarm the city every single night and if not for the protective field, it would have already been destroyed, and nobody is sure whether or not other cities still exist.
** Imagine after a big argument, you decide to leave your friends to their own devices for one night. You go to check on them and then....[[spoiler: all except for one (who herself is fading fast) are dead. One practically embedded in the ground.]]
** [[spoiler: The simple fact that Sylvia had two younger siblings.]]
** [[spoiler: On the funeral of three of Team Alchemical, Undine is shown surrounded by the bloody, smiling and dead Gwen, Sally and Sylvia. Gwen and Sylvia even roughly stand where Undine's probable parents were before...]]
** [[spoiler: When Undine revisits the site of the tragedy for answers, she gets flashbacks to the last moments of her three friends and them laying dead.]]
** [[spoiler: The mysterious creature that looks like a girl who has been spotted several times already and was present at Undine's healing also has something cholling to say: "Poor little girl... you wouldn't be so confused if you hadn't forgotten."]]
** [[spoiler: Said creature really really hates Undine for whatever reason.]]
** [[spoiler: ''"Did you think you would find answers here... or did you just want another chance to die?''"]]

* TearJerker: The first page of the interstitial details how nobody is even sure if there is anything outside of their town anymore, and that the protective field that only lets the monsters in at night is as good for keeping people ''in'' as danger ''out'', basically giving an underlying TearJerker vibe to the lives of the whole city.
** In the second chapter, we have a series of these, all worse than before.
*** [[spoiler: First, Sally is (for the upteenth time) fed up with Tessa being TheLeader: she says that if only Tessa gave them a chance, they could do the job too, and that Tessa is showing off and looking down on them. To answer that, Tessa says she will sit out this patrol, and when Sally calls this "running away", Tessa clarifies: if they want a chance to prove themselves, then here it is.]]
*** [[spoiler: All the while, Undine tries to keep the group together, but fails, this being stressed by a picture of the girls from before their MagicalGirl times, with all of them smiling.]]
*** [[spoiler: Come evening, Undine calls Tessa to make sure she didn't change her mind and to say not to pay attention to Sally and Sylvia, but Tessa, being mature, says it's a win-win: if they do well, they will gain confidence, if they don't, they will see they need Tessa.]]
*** [[spoiler: The girls are in for more than they bargained for: they dispatch some weaker enemies, but note there is a lot of them, and that means there is a [[EliteMook leader]]: sure enough, they meet an extra-strong one.]]
*** [[spoiler: By the time Tessa, who decided to check on them, finds the girls, three of them are laying very limp and bloody [[NoOntologicalInertia in their normal clothes]], and after Tessa defeats the EliteMook, Undine confirms the worst: they are already dead and Undine is dying too- she only hung in there this far because of her water powers.]]
*** [[spoiler: She tries to encourage a tearful Tessa with her last words, but Tessa is having none of it, and says any one of the other four girls deserves to live more than she does.]]
*** [[spoiler: Tessa does her best to heal Undine or even revive the others as well.]]
*** [[spoiler: The chapter ends without us seeing the results, apart from seeing Tessa's hair turn from pink to the original colour it had: brown. The last words are not at all encouraging: "On that night, before any of us knew what was happening, our team went from five members to one."]]
*** Tessa's shocked expression when she discovers [[spoiler: most of her team bleeding and dead [[NoOntologicalInertia in their normal clothes]], with Undine hanging on for dear life. It gets worse with the realization that if Tessa had listened to Undine about paying Sally and Sylvia no mind, and had accompanied her team on their nightly patrol, Tessa could've prevented this from happening.]]
** Chapter 3
*** [[spoiler: Page one: A news broadcast confirms the fact that Gwen, Sylvia and Sally are indeed dead, and Tessa, BroughtDownToNormal with her old brown hair, is sitting numbly in a hospital bed. The look on her face is heartrending.]]

*** Tessa's shocked expression when she discovers [[spoiler: most of her team bleeding and dead [[NoOntologicalInertia in their normal clothes]], with Undine hanging on for dear life.

** [[spoiler: Tessa attempting healing magic, the hardest form of magic, to save her group, even though she doesn't know what'll happen.]]

** [[spoiler: Tessa using her magic, which is supposed to be so powerful, to at least heal Undine but preferably revive the others as well.]]

** Imagine After A Big Argument, you decide to leave your friends to their own devices for one night. You go to check on them and then....[[spoiler: All Except One of them (who herself is fading fast) Are Dead. One practically embedded in the ground.]]

** While waiting for the night, we see glimpses of how the girls kill their time. Sally, the resident FieryRedhead, is spotted watching a soap opera and tearing up.

* Sally, being the only one who has no way of flying or similar, first having to climb then having to be carried by Sylvia bridal style, with a huge frown on her face.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Gwen's EstabilishingCharacterMoment: she pulls a StealthHiBye on Undine, saying she has been there for a while.
