* The "TakeMyHand" scene is a triumphant TearJerker, as it shows us just how much Jade and Double H [[TrueCompanions have come to care about each other.]] After she's been chased across the rooftops by General Kehck, Double H waits for Jade on top of a large, floating billboard. He sticks out his hand for her. She jumps. She doesn't make it. Double H briefly panics; he then dives down the other side of the billboard. Jade slides down the front of the billboard, headed for her doom, with an absolutely terrified expression on her face. But as the last portion of the billboard slips through her fingers, Double H, now balancing precariously on the billboard's tiny base, catches her. Cue one of his {{Catch Phrase}}s, "Don't break up the team", in a [[YouAreWithMe whole new context.]] And Jade gives him a relieved, SugarWiki/{{heartwarming|Moments}} smile.

* The infamous "lighthouse scene" (as seen in the heading quote of the HeroicBSOD page) is easily one of the most heart-wrenching scenes in all of gaming, and if it doesn't make you feel at least a ''little'' sad, your soul is as black as coal. [[spoiler: Upon returning to her home, Jade finds her lighthouse completely destroyed, and all of her children missing as she runs through the ruins screaming their names. As the enormity of what has happened sets in, complete with EmpathyDollShot, she collapses against the wall. Her dog appears from the ruins and cuddles up with her; as she strokes his head, she gives a heart-felt, sob-wracked speech that subtitutes her dog [[SurrogateSoliloquy for her own failures]]. Even Double H is clearly fighting back ManlyTears.]]
** Made worse if you've been [[spoiler:checking up on them]], which will only make you more attached and adds that much weight to it.
** And of course, the part that happens before it at Mammago. You're just done with your shopping [[spoiler: to take the Beluga out to space]], when, just as you leave and literally half a second before the loading screen, you hear an unexpected boom. One loading screen later, you see [[spoiler: the lighthouse smoking and a few ships flying away. You can't get there fast enough.]]

*** Made worse because if you have, like this troper, kept steady contact with [[spoiler: kids (visiting after each mission)]], so you have rooted for them and because you know what will happen to them if you don't save them. [[spoiler: They will be used as a energy source for the Domz.]]
*** And of course, the part that happens before it at Mammago. You're just done with your shopping [[spoiler: to take the Beluga out to space]], when, just as you leave and literally half a second before the loading screen, you hear an unexpected boom. One loading screen later, you see [[spoiler: the lighthouse smoking and a few ships flying away. At that moment, you're wasting turbos and praying you get there on time.]]
** The "TakeMyHand" scene is a triumphant TearJerker, as it shows us just how much Jade and Double H [[{{Nakama}} have come to care about each other.]] [[spoiler: After she's been chased across the rooftops by General Kehck, Double H waits for Jade on top of a large, floating billboard. He sticks out his hand for her. She jumps. She doesn't make it. Double H briefly panics; he then dives down the other side of the billboard. Jade slides down the front of the billboard, headed for her doom, with an absolutely terrified expression on her face. But as the last portion of the billboard slips through her fingers, Double H, now balancing precariously on the billboard's tiny base, catches her. Cue one of his {{Catch Phrase}}s, "Don't break up the team", in a [[YouAreWithMe whole new context.]] And Jade gives him a relieved, [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming heartwarming]] smile that just pushes this troper over the edge.]]
** The entirety of the scene where Jade realizes that [[spoiler:Pey'j is dead. The music goes quiet, the camera pans out, and we hear nothing... And Double H simply mouths, "No." Staving off those ManlyTears again, he steps out to let Jade have her moment. She then takes Pey'j's hand and promises him...]]

** * The infamous "lighthouse scene" (as seen in the heading quote of the HeroicBSOD page) is easily one of the most heart-wrenching scenes in all of gaming, and if it doesn't make you feel at least a ''little'' sad, this troper will wonder where your soul went. [[spoiler: Upon returning to her home, Jade finds her lighthouse completely destroyed, and all of her children are missing. As the enormity of what has happened sets in, complete with Empathy Doll Shot, she collapses against the wall. Her dog appears from the ruins and cuddles up with her; as she strokes his head, she gives a heart-felt, sob-wracked speech that's ostentiably about how useless her dog is--though this clearly [[IHaveThisFriend isn't the case.]] Even Double H is clearly fighting back ManlyTears.]]

*** [[spoiler: [[IGotBetter He gets better.]] This does not help in the tear department. In fact, if anything, their reunion is ''worse.'' Even if Pey'j's description of exactly ''how'' he got better is slightly cheesy, the look on Jade's face as she throws her arms around him says it all...]]
** This troper [[DisContinuity refuses to believe the very, very, very end actually happens]]. You know, the part where it's revealed [[spoiler: Pey'j is still infected]]. There's a time and place for that kind of ending, game, and that is ''not'' it.
*** Then again, they ''are'' making a sequel, so I suppose it's okay.
*** I thought the gut-wrenching part was the logical extrapolation of that ending- [[spoiler: Combine Pey'j is still infected, with the Domz specifically targeting Jade, add in the bit about the 'power' and finish with the fact that that infected hand is where [[TomatoInTheMirror Jade brought him back to life...]]]]
**** [[SarcasmMode Oh thank you you!]] This game wasn't enough tear jerker yet!
