Truly sorry about your parents. The hurt.\\

--->''For the lost light, the eternal dread\\
The empty rooms that house the dead,\\
[[EmptyShell The empty people that house the living.]]\\
The end of this circus, unforgiving.\\
For the old man who can barely walk,\\
For the young child who can hardly talk.\\
For you and for I.\\
That is why I cry.''
** Shortly after, he suggests that he planned to commit ''suicide'' after the circus ditched him, until Rubella convinces him otherwise.

** The first two lines of the second verse, "I know that you've seen the worst / Your heart's been torn before" is a CallBack to Norah/Nox's betrayal. Even after it's all over and Aurora and her friends ended Umbra and Nox's tyranny over Lemuria, the betrayal still hurts.

* [[spoiler:Norah's betrayal]]. Aurora thinks she's finally found her way home, and abandons her companions in search of it... [[spoiler:And she finds out her older sister was luring her into a trap]].
* The death of Aurora's mother, [[spoiler: the Queen of Light]]. The poor little girl sees her own mother die from poisoning in front of her eyes.
* Genovefa's plight. [[spoiler: She doesn't know that the ogre who took her parents ate both of them, and was waiting for their return after the ogre's death. She begins crying after Aurora spills the real news.]]
* Near the end of the game, [[spoiler:Umbra provides Aurora a SadisticChoice to return home to Austria and reunite with her father, who had fallen ill after presuming his daughter to be dead. Aurora, who at the start of the game wanted nothing more than to return home, sees her father on his deathbed and tells him that while she will always love him, she cannot leave the Lemurians to their fate. Her father thanks her for making the right decision before passing away. This causes Aurora's protective crown to shatter and enables Umbra to kill Aurora, proclaiming her victory. Thankfully, Aurora gets better.]]
** How much did Aurora want to return to her father? Throughout the entire adventure, she never shows fear at the dangers and monsters surrounding her. Giants? Ghouls? The undead? Without hesitation, she bravely fights through everything in her way. The only thing that made her despair and break down like a child was the idea of separation from her father. [[spoiler:And just like her mother, he dies right in front of her.]]

--->'''Duke:''' [[spoiler:My... Aurora... Good...]]

As she plays, we see scenes that show the music carrying to all the peoples of Lemuria Aurora has helped before the scene returns to the altar, where the party is gathered around grieving her death. Then the light of the sun, moon and stars appear, and Aurora's body floats into the air where their power revives her, and she completes her transformation into the Queen of Light.]]
