History TearJerker / BeyondTwoSouls

* [[spoiler:During the begging sequence in "Homeless", you can have Jodie play a heartrending rendition of Beck's "Lost Cause". You can just hear how [[BrokenAce broken]] and world-weary she sounds during the performance.]]

* When Jodie is [[spoiler: taken away from Cole and Nathan by the CIA, she's sobbing as she's packing her bag with what few posessions she's allowed to take, and it's ''heartbreaking'' because you have to control her throughout.]]

** [[spoiler: Also when Norah is later [[MercyKill mercy killed]] by her own son, instead of having to suffer being tormented by the dark spirits in her comatose state. She even smiles when she passes away.]]
* The Party. Enough said, probably. [[spoiler: The dumb girls and guys belittling Jodie, physically hurting her, calling her a liar about having powers, the English guy bringing everyone on board with calling Jodie a slut and the whole group finally calling her a witch and locking her in a closet.]] If the player does take revenge, they deserved it for [[ArsonMurderandJaywalking hurting Jodie, drinking, doing drugs and being morons]].
* The Dinner chapter can potentially end on a sad note in a few different ways:
** If Jodie was [[spoiler: nearly raped]] in the Like Other Girls chapter, Jodie will [[spoiler: have a panic attack at the end of the date, remembering her traumatic experience, leaving Ryan to excuse himself and leave the apartment.]]

--> '''Jodie:''' Are you happy now? You get what you wanted, now he's gone and you can have me to your fucking self! I hope you're deleriously fucking happy! Why don't you just float around in your invisible world and watch me cry?! I hate you! Do you hear me?! I fucking hate you!

** If the player decides to have Aiden sabotage the date at every opportunity he gets, and Jodie rejects Ryan's kiss (assuming they even ''get'' that far), Ryan will excuse himself and leave, leaving Jodie in tears and frustrated at the failed date.

** [[:spoiler: "Homeless" also gives Jodie the opportunity to channel the ghost of Stan's deceased wife Nancy. Seeing him talk directly to her about how empty and miserable his life has been without her is heartwrenching, but the fact that the encounter gives him the strength he needs to move on can produce tears of a different kind.]]

* The end of "Haunting". Nathan pleading with Jodie to have his wife and daughter talk to him again just breaks your heart.----

* The end of "Haunting". Nathan pleading with Jodie to have his wife and daughter talk to him again just breaks your heart.
** And when she complies, the spirit of Nathans wife begs him to let them go and let them die. Nathan refuses to believe that his wife and child could ever possibly be tortured by being forcibly stuck between dimensions and delusionally insists that Jodie is the one that said it, not them.

* The entirety of the [[TwoBestFriendsPlay Super Best Friend's]] playthrough of Beyond: Two Souls earns a mention, if only because of [[ThePollyanna Mat's]] [[DespairEventHorizon growing despair]] over this disjointed mess of a video game.

** Then in the chapter "Black Sun" [[spoiler: Nathan deactivates the containment field, so that the Infraworld will merge with the real world; the living and the dead can be together at last. When Jodie catches up to him, some of the dialogue choices will see Nathan choosing to take his own life. Jodie then sees Nathan's spirit reuniting with his wife and daughter. He then looks over his shoulder at Jodie, looking more like the Nathan she knew as a child, and asks her to destroy the condenser.
---> '''Nathan:''' Please Jodie. Do it for me. ]]

* Dawkins' reaction to [[spoiler:the death of his wife and daughter]], as well, as Jodie's description of [[spoiler:her life without Aiden]]. As anyone who ever lost a close relative knows, those are extremely faithful depictions of what the first weeks (if not months) afterwards feel like: like having a piece of you torn out, so you just want to crawl into a ball and weep, but no matter what you do, the pain simply doesn't go away.

*** Earlier on, there was a bit of [[DramaticIrony bitterly ironic]] {{Foreshadowing}}. [[spoiler:In "Homeless", if he finds out that Jodie is on the run from the law, Stan will say that he doesn't need to know why. As long as she hasn't killed anybody, that's fine by him. One can only imagine how much that remark must have hurt Jodie.]]

* The aftermath of "The Mission". Gemaal Sheik Charrief and his men are dead. Jodie walks in, camera in hand, to confirm the mission's success. [[spoiler: Then, in bursts little Salim, who kneels in horror and grief beside one of the bodies, desperately shouting something over and over. You don't have to understand the language to realize what's going on: Jodie [[YouKilledMyFather killed his father.]]]]
** It gets even worse. [[spoiler:In the CIA helicopter on the way home, a shell-shocked Jodie turns on the news, just in time to hear a massive WhamLine being dropped. Charrief wasn't a warlord, like Ryan had told her. He was the ''democratically elected president'', who many hoped could the years of conflict in his country. The [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone horror at what she's done]], combined with [[EtTuBrute being betrayed and manipulated by Ryan]], utterly devastate Jodie.]]
