** More generally, Twilight's sincere desperation to help her forgotten friend out of her situation, which [[color:green: Lyra]] Lyra remarks upon:



* At the end of the first day of her cursed life, [[color:green:Lyra]] decides to try and kill herself. A passing stallion manages to [[TalkingDownTheSuicidal talk her out of it]] when [[color:green:Lyra]] asks him why she shouldn't end her nightmare and he replies:
-->[[color:green:Because you are so special, so precious, and this world would be a lot less worth enjoying if you chose to leave it.]]
* Applejack in Chapter III, when she feeds a freezing, starving and desperate [[color:green:Lyra]] and carries her back to Sweet Apple Acres to rest and heal up. Although it doesn't last, she later helps [[color:green:Lyra]] build her own cottage to keep warm.
* In Chapter IX, [[color:green:Lyra]] is returned to Ponyville after discovering the effects of the ''Threnody of Night'', and is found by the unnamed village confectioner ([[spoiler: Bon Bon]]), who brings her inside and warms her by her oven. At this point [[color:green:Lyra]] is on the verge of another DespairEventHorizon, after her brief experience in the Realm of the Unsung and having now discovered a ninth elegy in her head. This exchange occurs after a few minutes in the confectionary.

** More generally, Twilight's sincere desperation to help her forgotten friend out of her situation, which Lyra remarks upon: "Twilight was fumbling for ideas at this point. She was trembling all over. I will always admire her concern and sincerity when she comes to this point of “knowing,” but I also can't stand to see her so distraught. My only solace is that it never lasts long, and I knew it would only be a matter of time then."
