* In the Village of Myth sidequest, one woman's dream is that she's subjectively spent years in a oubliette, isolated from the world, then after Nier and Weiss rescue her, they end up in a labyrinth of horrors, including a massive pile of burned corpses and a grotesque dinner of corpses, tortured to death, whose blood soaked the carpet she was walking on. When she gets back to reality, she finds herself unable to overcome her traumatic experiences and constantly reliving them in her mind and in her dreams. She has no one to commiserate with, either, as her neighbors either disbelieve her story or shun her because she can't stop talking about it. Even Nier and Weiss are unable to help, and she's last described as breaking into tears of despair while they awkwardly back away.

** She was happy to die as soon as she avenged her grandmother, but Nier accepted her and convinced her to live, while she in turn gave hope to Emil. She sacrifices herself and is petrified to save her new friends, but thankfully wakes up again and finds them all there, if a little different to how she remembered. Then her hometown of the Aerie is wiped out, she loses Emil whom she had protected and loved like a brother, and to top it all off her inner-Shade is seriously threatening to take over her mind and force her to kill the man she loves. Depending on which ending you get, she either dies at Nier's hand and is allowed to finally rest, or is cured and able to live on in peace with a rebuilt Emil, at the cost of completely forgetting about Nier. In other words, no matter which path you chose for Kainé her life will always be tragic.

The trope's been cut by TRS.


** It begins when a postman finds a CuteMute IllGirl named Louise in a shipwreck, starving and alone. He enjoys her company and she enjoys his kindness. The problem? She's the Shade boss whose issue is that she can't communicate in her Replicant body, succumbing to the Black Scrawl as she tries to become human, eating Replicant bodies and fusing with other Shades all to no avail.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


** Watching the Shadowlord react... ''poorly'' to his Yonah's sacrifice is pretty heart-rending. Coming back for Ending B kicks it UpToEleven, of course. It's simply depressing seeing him kneel down before his Replicant, completely given up any desire to exist, accepting his death right then and there. Even Nier seems to hesitate for a moment before delivering the killing blow to his own Shade.

*** As she fights Nier and his party, Louise is trying to protect the postman and become human any way she knows how, only for him to mistake her Shade form as eating up and killing the human Louise (or outright lying to him the entire time), cursing her existence. This causes her to lose all motivation, resigning herself to be killed by Kainé, who is even distraught once she reads a letter written to the postman thanking him for being kind to her.
