Tear Jerker: Alice Madness Returns

The end of the first chapter: the Hatter's frenetic and pathetic attempt to have another tea party with his now deceased friends (who were trying to kill him just a second ago) is extremely sad and disturbing at the same time.
- The Hatter's death. After all the trouble Alice went through to help him, after a short but awesome moment in which they work together, and after a Curb-Stomp Battle that can only be described as a CMOA... Made more poignant by the fact that the Hatter died having (or trying to have) one final tea party with his dead comrades.
- Made worse when Alice's response is essentially "Eh, screw him, he deserved to die. ... Oh, guess I'm drowning in tea now."
At the end of the game when Alice has a breakdown after she realizes Lizzie was raped and murdered.
