History TearJerker / FragmentsOfChaldea

* Da Vinci tried to convince Roman to tell David the truth. He refuses, since he wanted to keep his true identity a secret not just from David, but everyone else in Chaldea. However, Dr. Roman promises to Da Vinci that he will tell his father the truth when the time comes. [[spoiler: For anyone who finished the game, this is heartbreaking.]]

** She is flat out told from Gabby that Gudao already loves someone else ([[spoiler: Mashu]]) and not her.

* Gabby's [[spoiler: apparent]] death.
* [[spoiler: Roman's decision to join the fight. He ''knows'' his only option is to sacrifice himself, and he doesn't want to. Just... gah!]]
** [[spoiler: His utter shock and shame when David confesses he suspected his true identity for long, because Roman was afraid to reveal to his father this good-for-nothing human was related to him. Turns to [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments sweet and fuzzy]] when David tells Solomon how proud he is of him, and how happy he was to get to know him.]]
*** [[spoiler: When he finally makes it to Goetia and assumes his [[HiddenBadass true form]] for the battle, he has a moment of [[HopeSpot hope]] when he wonders if his restored power as the [[WorldsStrongestMan Grand Caster]] would be enough to win the day without sacrificing himself. Then Goetia proves himself to be stronger than even King Solomon at his best, and he realizes that [[YankTheDogsChain he has no other choice.]] ]]

* David's reaction when he realizes [[spoiler: his son sacrificed himself to take Goetia down]].
** Right after this, Anishka tries to comfort him by pointing [[spoiler: Gabrielle wasn't dead]], [[HopeSpot so there is still a chance of Roman being safe and okay, right?]] For those who saw this end, chances are high that you're already sobbing your eyes out.
** The harsh, cold truth when everyone meets again in Chaldea: not only [[spoiler: Solomon]] was the only true casualty, he can't be resummoned, and he was aware his was a suicide mission. David's grief is already painful to watch but Nursery Rhyme's bawling is outright awful.

* Shiki's wandering around Tokyo with other Servants, when the question of whether she's back to her own timeline is answered in the most brutal way possible: [[spoiler:She isn't, which she discovers by seeing the mortal Shiki, Mikiya and the family butler Akitaka. Worse still, Mana, the mortal Shiki's daughter, is also there.]] Shiki swallows her pain, but she still seethes that she helped save humanity and in exchange she remains trapped in a foreign timeline.

* Crossing over with NightmareFuel, Berserker of El Dorado breaking Gudao's arm upon learning of Achilles' presence. Even so, he refuses to use the Mad Enhancement-suppressing potion on Penthesilea, seeing the horrible effects it had on Kiyohime.

* Seeing [[spoiler:the duel between Penthesilea and Achilles though the Berserker's own eyes]] once again mixes tear jerker and nightmare fuel. From seeing her triumph at her own take down of the one who wronged her so at Troy, to then watch helplessly as her own madness enhanced self does things that [[spoiler:by the still sane part of her mind admits are no better than what caused Penthesilea's grudge in the first place and then lash out with the intent to kill at Hector]], one of the few allies and friends she has in the wake of Fragment 96. the horror by the time of Chaldea's intervention in the fight that Penthesilea has and her nearly broken pride (the defining aspect of her legend that admitted her to the throne) really drives the impending sense of hopelessness that she feels throughout nearly all the remainder of the Fragment.

* Irisveil's description of receiving the Memorial Essence of her [[Literature/FateZero alternate self]]. Even if it worked out for the best, it still sounds... [[MindRape unpleasant.]]

* Irisveil's description of receiving the Memorial Essence of her [[LightNovel/FateZero alternate self]]. Even if it worked out for the best, it still sounds... [[MindRape unpleasant.]]

* It's revealed that Da Vinci really did love Roman, to the point she had tried to consummate their relationship the night before the assault on the Timeless Temple, only to be turned down. Roman actually runs away from Da Vinci, who grumbles she'll have to force his hand [[ForegoneConclusion after they won]].

** At the end of the Fragment, Melt finally gets the memorial essence of Seraphinx... and it turns out that Irisveil '''wasn't exaggerating'''. We get a vivid description of the agony that the Alter-Ego goes through as the memories flood through her. She begins spasming uncontrollably, and ends up ''hurting Anishka'' by accident, sending Melt's anguish into overdrive.

** Melt herself feels like Chaldea is unfairly expecting her to be her Seraphinx self rather than accepting her as she is now. As cold as she is, her plight of feeling like she's in another's shadow is understandable.
* Irisveil's description of receiving the Memorial Essence of her [[VisualNovel/FateZero alternate self]]. Even if it worked out for the best, it still sounds... [[MindRape unpleasant.]]

** Melt herself feels like Chaldea is unfairly expecting her to be that person rather than accepting her as she is now. Cold as she is, her plight is rather understandable.

* Medusa is suffering from BadDreams inherited from Ana's memorial essence from the 7th singularity. She believes she's uncontrollably turning into Gorgon and she doesn't want to lose her friends or family.

!!Fragment 97
* The fact that, for the first time, a Servant is going to be [[spoiler: banished from Chaldea.]]

* Crossing over with [[NightmareFuel]], Berserker of El Dorado breaking Gudao's arm upon learning of Achilles' presence.

* David mentioned that his history of loving Bathsheba was his biggest disgrace he committed during his reign that cost him dearly, but he never regretted it. He even said that he would make that mistake a thousand times over if it was the only way to bring Solomon, his rightful son, to his life. Also counts as [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming a heartwarming moment]].

** [[spoiler: His utter shock and shame when David confesses he suspected his true identity for long, because Roman was afraid to reveal to his father this good-for-nothing human was related to him. Turns to [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming sweet and fuzzy]] when David tells Solomon how proud he is of him, and how happy he was to get to know him.]]

* The chapter starts with Hundred Face flashing back to her final moments in life, how she had almost completely lost her sense of self despite becoming Hassan-i-sabbah for the express purpose of conquering her severe Multiple Personality Disorder by assuming a very singular title. As she sinks into confusion and self-loathing, hating the woman she sees in the mirror, [[OhCrap King Hassan appears in the room]]. As much as he's there to execute her for dishonoring her title [[GlowingEyesOfDoom (and visibly angry about it)]], it almost feels like there's an element of [[MercyKill pity]] in his timing, as well.
