Tear Jerker / Steal the Truth, Reach Out For Your Heart

Go To

  • When Nanako asks Yu about what really happened in Inaba 10 years ago, Yu panics at the thought that his little sis could get hurt meddling with dangerous forces. His refusal to tell her the truth causes their Justice arcana to collapse and restart with Yu as the Hierophant — the same arcana Nanako's father represented when he spent all his time working and neglecting her. They may build it back, but they can never have the same uncomplicated relationship they enjoyed before.
  • When Yu and Naoto finally manage to have a conversation about how their relationship ended, Naoto laments that before she met Yu, she thought she could ignore love and sex entirely. Being with Yu convinced her that she wasn't aro/ace and did want traditional affection...and then they broke up, leaving Naoto longing for connection but with no idea how to go on dates.
  • Nanako's thoughts while she fatally bleeds out in the Bank of Gluttony. They wander from the absurd (trying to remember what those flying fish were called in the Mario games) to the heartbreaking (trying to convince her blood to go back in) to acceptances that are somehow even sadder (realizing that the people in her life will eventually be OK without her).
