What follows is a BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind over the course of which Omori ruthlessly dredges up all of Chara's deep-seated regrets and sorrows and '''weaponizes''' them against the Fallen Child, all the while absolutely destroying them on an emotional level by [[BreakingSpeech giving a voice to all their insecurities and negative thoughts]]. It's not so much a battle as it is a long string of magic-assisted bullying, and Arachnos said that he felt disgusted while writing Omori's lines.

* During a visit to the realm of dreams, Sarah is forced to [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=14315151240A21923900&page=14405#comment-360103 fight her own sleep paralysis demon]] in order to open a path to the adjacent nightmare realm. During the battle, it knocks her unconscious ([[MST3KMantra don't ask how that works]]) and ends up in a bar full of characters her player, [=Bolded1=], introduced whose story arcs were ultimately abandoned. It's a somber nod to his own inability to retain interest in given characters or series, with what feels like an in-universe half-hearted attempt to make light of the situation, like even the characters themselves have given up hope of returning to the spotlight.

** It gets worse when "SAMAEL," a creature from a book Bolded intends to write, [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=14315151240A21923900&page=14406#comment-360131 appears before Sarah while in the nightmare-queen's palace]] and tells her she will join the faces in the bar someday, immediately followed by [=KiriK=] playing out a ''very'' similar situation with a character from a novel-length story he nearly finished only to abandon alongside the antagonist of a story that never got past the idea phase in 2016. The characters in the roleplay ultimately manage to shrug off these warnings and threats, but it should be clear the players weren't feeling so lighthearted and flippant when they wrote them.

Scaos is an EmotionEater used as a dumping grounds for the negative emotions of an entire race]], and understandably [[PoweredByAForsakenChild a pretty tragic figure]]. After a battle laden with enough character development to fill an arc, [[spoiler:Scaos finally [[HeroicSacrifice gets his]] "[[GoOutWithASmile good ending]]".]]

!v4:

* Pastry Person mercilessly keeps beating on Milo and Duckus (the duo of the VideoGame/DuckHunt dog and duck that appear in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''), even though the two are exhausted, on the brink of death and pleading to be left alone, and had not done anything to him in the first place. Even merciless and sadistic [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Queen Chrysalis]] thought he was going overboard!
