History TearJerker / MysterySkullsAnimated

** What makes it doubly tragic is that it's clear Mystery largely spared her because he feels [[It'sAllMyFault guilty about]] [[MyGreatestFailure his previous mistreatment of her]] - after getting Vivi to back down, he glances at Shiromori with regret written all over his face. Sadly, however, his attempt to make things right just wasn't enough for Shiromori...

** We see why Lewis had such a look of regret on his face at the end of the last video. When he was looking at Arthur falling, he
''flashed back to when it happened to him'', realizing that he was NotSoDifferent. And unlike Arthur, ''he did it of his own free will''.

** It's likely that when Lewis saw Arthur say his name, he realized that ''Arthur had no idea that he was dead, or that Arthur had killed him''. It takes him a moment, but he suddenly understands as Arthur is falling towards the spikes that it was AllForNothing. Instead of seeing a look of guilt or a realization of karmic justice in Arthur's face, all he sees is that Arthur just looks ''betrayed''.

** Look even more closely and you can see that Lewis' heart is ''blacked out and completely shattered''. Not even his grief at being separated from Vivi again at the end of ''Ghost'' ruined his heart that utterly.

* Arthur gets captured by Lewis and brought to what seems to be either an illusory version of or ''the'' place where he killed his friend while possessed where Lewis drops him off the same cliff... and as he holds Arthur over the pit ''[[InternalReveal his face reconstitutes on his skull]]'' prompting Arthur to gain a horrified expression and though we can't hear his voice it's very clear from the lip flaps what he's saying. Then Lewis drops him and Arthur is too shocked to even register the fall.

--->'''Arthur:''' [[WeUsedToBeFriends Lewis?]]

** Made even worse with the final screen cut that shows everyone at once: Lewis is ''[[MyGodWhatHaveIDone immediately regretful.]]''

* The ending of ''Animated!Ghost''. While Arthur, Vivi, and Mystery make it out okay, Lewis is heartbroken. He looks into his heart, which functions as a locket, and looks at a picture of him and Vivi back when he was alive and they were happy. Looking like his old self, Lewis sheds a tear and vanishes along with the mansion.
* Arthur's condition in "Freaking Out" can be hard to watch. He looks absolutely exhausted, and not only is he being targeted by an angry ghost who is the vengeful spirit of Arthur's friend whom he inadvertently killed, but he's having hallucinations about losing his arm and seeing Mystery's true form, either from lack of sleep or intense feelings of guilt. No wonder the poor guy is a nervous wreck.

** The fact that Vivi seems to be subconsciously editing out Lewis from her and Arthur's life is disturbing. The trauma is so bad for both of them that they are literally trying to forget about Lewis subconsciously but are actively still looking for him in what amounts to a fruitless quest is heart wrenching. In Arthur's case, he doesn't seem to realize that the end game here is finding the ghost again and getting killed. [[DeathSeeker Or maybe that's the point.]]
