You're suddenly given control of [[AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent David's best friend Paul;]] he and his fiance Marion travel to the abandoned hospital where David is and come across Sissy, D, and Fluffy while traveling through, but when Marion tells him to stop messing with her by talking out loud to no one, Paul realizes that all three of them were spirits/non-corporeal memory fragments, and his [[ISeeDeadPeople ability to perceive ghosts]] means that Marion just sees him talking to the air; he insists that she turn back and wait in the car where it's safe. Eventually he makes it to the roof only to find David [[DrivenToSuicide with a gun to his temple]] and The Crooked Man over his shoulder. Since every crucial dialogue point up until now has had the seemingly incorrect responses actually being the right ones, it makes sense that the only choice that [[DrivenToSuicide doesn't end]] [[MurderSuicide in tragedy]] is to actually [[GetAHoldOfYourSelfMan pummel David]]; David is so surprised and angry with Paul for clocking him that it snaps him out of his trance.]]

* In ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'', Agatha, possessed by a neural copy of [[BigBad The Other]][[note]]AKA, her mother, Lucrezia Mongfish[[/note]] is confronted by [[TheDreaded Von Pinn]]. Von Pinn, knowing Agatha is "not herself" immediately starts to beat the tar out of The Other. When The Other warns her that she'll kill Agatha if she keeps going, Von Pinn tells her she's well aware of that and is willing to sacrifice Agatha to stop her, but also gives her the chance to retreat (i.e., cede control of her body back to Agatha). The Other does so, but taunts she'll be back.
