* Cassie being ForcedToWatch as [[spoiler:Akakios murders Vlad]] in ''Army of Darkness vs. Hack/Slash''.Hack/Slash''.
* ''The Crow: Hack/Slash''
** Cassie weeping over Vlad as he lies broken and unconscious in the hospital after the Crow dragged him off the roof of a church, with Cassie blaming herself for Vlad's injuries.
** Both the backstories of the Crows in ''The Crow: Hack/Slash'', [[Franchise/TheCrow as you'd expect]]. The villainous Crow, Angeles Cero had her sister murdered by Angeles' obsessive ex-boyfriend who then killed Angeles herself, only to get the murder covered up because he was a police cadet and the San Francisco police academy didn't want the scandal. The heroic Crow, Marcus Greives, was beaten to death alongside his boyfriend Aiden, by Neo-Nazis for being a mixed-racial gay couple in 1986 -- and just after Marcus had won the San Francisco Miss Drag contest, so they were feeling on top of the world.
** Marcus was enjoying an eternity of paradise in Heaven with his boyfriend, until Angeles went off the rails and refused to return to death after killing her killer like she was supposed to. So Marcus was dragged out of Heaven and forced back into the role of the Crow to stop her. But because he's not ''meant'' to have returned again, if he can't stop Angeles soon, his memories will be completely erased and he'll wander the Earth forever as a living damned soul, forever unable to return to Aiden.
** In the finale, Marcus transfers his LifeForce into Vlad to bring him back from the brink of death, despite Cassie warning him that this will probably prevent his soul from ever finding its way back to Aiden in Heaven.

** Cassie's NightmareSequence brought on by the Dread Drinkers. She hallucinates Margaret telling about how she dresses like a slut so she can throw out sex and avoid people seeing how pathetic she actually is, and notes that the reason she knows this is that she posed as Cassie's friend and that it would be completely ridiculous that she would ever love Cassie. The sheer humiliation breaks Hack, causing her to punch the hallucinatory Margaret in the face until she’s dead in a giant pool of her own blood, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone at which point Cassie realizes what she just did and screams in horror]]. The entire sequence is basically every one of her insecurities turned UpToEleven.

* In ''The Final Revenge of ComicBook/EvilErnie'', when Cassie realizes that Ernie, [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes of all people]], loves her, she has a mental breakdown due to having been looking for people to love her. When Vlad admits he loves her, she snaps at him, not believing him. By the end she's devolved to CryIntoChest InelegantBlubbering.

'''Cassie:''' That's not the point, Vlad! How many people go through their entire ''goddamn'' lives looking for someone to love them for who they are, and never find it? I find it... and it's some murdering, undead psychopath. You think I'll ever find anyone who will love me again? My ''[[DisappearedDad father]]'' left me. My ''[[DrivenToSuicide mother]]'' left me. And now I have to kill the one person who knows me. The one person who loves me.\\

* Cassie's extended HeroicBSOD in ''Closer'', after the events listed just above. According to Vlad, she doesn’t move, clean off blood, or speak for fourteen hours. Her facial expression is so blank and hopeless she seems like a completely different person, eyes always downcast or staring blankly. Judging from the fact that he noted this near Tulsa, Oklahoma and they stop in Potts Camp, Mississippi, she evidently stated that way for several ''more'' hours. It becomes almost unsettling when she gets into a hotel hot tub, still covered in blood, and just... sits there, eyes downcast, not even looking around, while the family that was using it warily exit to get away from the blood-covered girl.
