* Episode 10, Arf takes a stand and attacks Precia in retaliation for her cruel treatment towards Fate. Not only does Precia attempt to murder Arf, she later lies to Fate and claims her familiar abandoned her out of cowardice.

--> '''Precia''': I spent so long grieving over the loss of my poor child. All that time I treated a worthless copy of her as my daughter. Are you listening Fate, I'm talking about you. I went through the trouble of giving you Alicia's memories, but you only ''look'' like her. A useless copy, a ''fake''. A ''cheap'' toy.

--> '''Precia''': (''coldly'') Horrible, I expected more from you.
--> '''Fate''': You're right... I'm sorry, mother.

** In particular, the reveal that Fate is just a clone and her mother has always hated her. The poor girl can't handle it and just [[HeroicBSOD shuts down]].
** The whipping scene. Probably the most painful part is that they don't even show it. Instead, we repeatedly get the sickening sound of a whip hitting flesh followed by [[ScreamDiscretionShot Fate's screams]], while Arf is desperately trying to block out the horror that she's powerless to stop. When the screams finally stop, we get a shot of Fate's face that focuses on her eyes. [[ThousandYardStare Her empty, broken eyes]].

* ''Any'' scene involving both Fate and [[EvilMatriarch Precia]]. It's a CrowningMomentOfAwesome for Fate, and ''all'' of them are heart-wrenching.

* The bridge scene in the last episode. Nuff said.

* Precia herself has such a moment. A single line transforms her from a near CompleteMonster into a TragicVillain.

* Linith's fate, being unable to stay with Fate for her very limited lifespan, both by her contract as a familiar and her master Precia's radiation poisoning. She hoped Fate would be able to have a good relationship with Precia, [[TragicDream but that proved impossible]] because of Fate's nature as a ReplacementGoldfish, so all Linith could do for Fate was train her well and express her hopes that she can find a friend.
