History TearJerker / Ever17

** Also, Sora is still not physical - so Takeshi can't even have real contact with her in their final moments [[{{YMMV}} (unless you believe in the Pygmalion myth).]]

** Remember, too, that this is ''after'' Takeshi has ensured the survival of everyone else in LEMU, and that he is voluntarily choosing to stay behind.
** And finally, remember that Sora is still not physical - so Takeshi can't even have real contact with her in their final moments.

* In the Xbox 360 remake, mixed with a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming, the reunion with Takeshi and Coco. In the original, only Hokuto went down to see him, and he had spoken to both of them before. In the remake, ''everyone'' goes down to IBF to see them wake up. Hokuto and Sara happily welcoming their father back as he woke up (this being both their first meeting with him, as Hokuto hadn't spoken directly to Takeshi in this version), and Tsugumi seeing him for the first time in 17 years, only to tearfully berate him for leaving her alone for so long.

** The whole part describing what Tsugumi went through after escaping from LEMU at the expense of Takeshi's life, how she almost gave up on living because the love of her life was dead, ran from Leiblich, lived as a homeless person, found out she was pregnant, regained hope in life because of her children....just everything about that.
** On the Tsugumi route. Hot damn, that was a really, really depressing HeroicSacrifice...
** The ending of "After You've Gone", the Drama CD. Tsugumi breaking down into tears and embracing Sara after the latter recovers from the fatal virus always touches this troper's heart.

* Sora's "Good" Ending. Takeshi tearfully recites the [[PygmalionPlot Pygmalion legend]] to Sora while he makes a backup of her data, leading to a HopeSpot...but ultimately, no rescue comes, and they resolve to be TogetherInDeath.

* Kid's increasingly desperate attempts to resuscitate Sara, even after everyone else had given up and are trying to find the softest way to tell him to let it go. [[spoiler: Which makes it all the more sweeter when he actually succeeds]]. RewatchBonus after finishing Coco's route: Tsugumi just watched her daughter almost die.

* ''VisualNovel/{{Ever17}}'' has several moments, but the most heartbreaking bit is the [[spoiler:LukeYouAreMyFather moment from Kid, when he and Sara confront unrepentant {{Jerkass}} Tsugumi and force her to admit that she's their mother. She wavers for a minute or before finally breaking down into tears, begging forgiveness for abandoning them and hugging both tight as they run to embrace her.]]

* And, related to all the previous examples, [[LonelyPianoPiece Karma]]. Not only when you hear Karma playing, you know you are in for a Bad Ending or another kind of heartrending scene, but the song is a TearJerker by itself. Just [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkvQte7JWpw listen to it]]
