* [[AdultFear Letting your entire family die]]. Especially if you struggle at the game to the point where you flat out ''can't'' provide for them. Watching everyone freeze, starve to death and die of illness is horrible enough, but then you get fired since you can't sustain a large, healthy family, so odds are, soon enough, the same will happen to you...

** The short film puts a cruel twist on this. Earlier in the day, the Inspector had refused entry to Elisa, and she gave him her locket as a TragicKeepsake. When the Antegrian husband arrives, the husband's papers are valid while the wife's are not, due to an alternate spelling of her name.. The Inspector looks at Elisa's locket, mulling over whether to approve her or not. He decides to let her through and advise her to get her name spelling fixed. [[TheFarmerAndTheViper What does he earn for this act of kindness?]]
