** Even worse than that, the "Whistling Night" pranks continue even after the fact, for the past 20 years even after the death of George Barrow. From Marie's perspective, this can be seen as rubbing salt in her wounds, as possibly without anyone really knowing it, the town might as well be CELEBRATING the anniversary of George's death.

* If you fail to save Deputy Martinez early on, Leslie is noticeably speaking quieter and more solemnly than if you succeed. Sure, she's still determined to get help and stop the Whistling Man from taking more lives, but just listen to her tone. She seems utterly [[DespairEventHorizon broken and defeated]], sounding as if she's moments away from crying.

* Marie killing Peggy is absolutely horrible, however if she does succeed in carrying out the act, she will scream and break out crying. Perhaps in that moment, she realizes how utterly ridiculous her reason for murdering Peggy was, and she's faced with the reality that she just murdered the only person in the world that loved her.

* Marie at the end of the game jumps off the cliff at Whistling Point in order to evade the cops. It's [[UncertainDoom ambiguous as to if she died or not]], but assuming that she did, Henry is now left all alone in the world as an orphan, as well as a convicted serial killer.[[note]]and it gets even sadder if you believe Henry was groomed from birth into being an accomplice to his mother's revenge[[/note]] Marie, in her grief and lust for revenge, very likely ruined her son's life.

** Even worse, to have his death covered up, and lied about, making it seem like he was a drunken fool who liked to fight, and drowned in the reservoir due to "his own stupidity." Even Marie can't explain it with a straight face, breaking down and sobbing in the middle of it, and honestly... can anyone blame her?

* What happened to Marie herself after George's death, too. Despite her best efforts to clear his name, nobody listened to her, or outright told her to ''stay quiet''- truth be damned- thanks to Teddy Gallows Sr. and Clive doing everything in their (substantial) power to keep the real circumstances behind George's death hidden. Furthermore, she and George had just conceived Henry out of wedlock, and she was thrown out of the house by her parents the moment the pregnancy became obvious (and during your interview with her, she'll imply that they had never supported their relationship from the start), leaving her all the more alone. By the time she's committed to her murder spree and confronts Forrest personally, she's a bitter wreck who's been driven murderously insane by her grief and personal tragedies, with her son as her sole shining light in her life.

* As much of an ass as he was, Jimmy's death qualifies. His last moments are spent in absolute and abject ''terror'' (that's completely ''bloodcurdling'' to listen to, at that) as the Whistling Man butchers him in front of his friends, and at the end of the day, he was just a stupid kid- he didn't deserve to ''die'' for it. It's further sold by the sorrow Carrie and her friends express at his death (despite Carrie having been the main victim of his prank), and it's implied that, cruel pranking aside, he was genuinely a friend of theirs.
