* ''ComicBook/CinemaPurgatorio'': [[spoiler:In ''One Hell of a Girl'', the nature of protagonist's relationship with the "Geraldine" she talked about was revealed to be that of a resentful mother and a lonely daughter. As a StrugglingSingleMother, she had to choose between going on dates and raising her, and often chose the former every chance she got. She hated that potential lovers are turned off by Geraldine's presence, and the girl was often ignored so she could have time to herself. When Geraldine's pleas became too much for her one night, the protagonist killed her and tried (and failed) to cover it up. The relationship was so bad that, prior to the reveal, the protagonist only ever mentioned Geraldine in the same way one would talk about a selfish love rival who kept getting in the way, and she kept justifying her murder as a normal, righteous reaction.]]
