** Heck, even if we saw it coming, the entire second half of the movie with Schwi's death at Jibril's hands along with Riku passing away shortly as well is ''heartbreaking''. The original "251 second limit" from the Anime Expo trailer was actually the time limit Schwi had in passing along all her data and memories to the rest of the Ex-Machina cluster to help Riku, and the entire time, she's trying not to die and escape to be with Riku again. Jibril's nonchalant manner in killing her doesn't help at all. When her last words come to pass and the scene cuts to Riku waking up to find her gone, the despair in his eyes is obvious.

The original "251 second limit" from the Anime Expo trailer was actually the time limit Shuvi had in passing along all her data and memories to the rest of the Ex-Machina cluster to help Riku, and the entire time, she's trying not to die and escape to be with Riku again. Jibril's nonchalant manner in killing her doesn't help at all. When her last words come to pass and the scene cuts to Riku waking up to find her gone, the despair in his eyes is obvious.]]
*** In fact, [[spoiler: all that was left of Shuvi after Jibril was done with her was her ''ring''. In her last moments, Shuvi cast a barrier so that the ring would be untouched, and it is the only reminder of Shuvi that Riku has left once the Ex-Machina inform him of what happened.]]

** Also from the Movie, Corone's words on not wanting to lose her family are tearjerking [[spoiler: because Riku and Shuvi are still going to die anyways. The ending actually shows Corone crying in the cave where Riku's chessboard was, wondering why she's feeling cheated despite having the peace their entire colony has been waiting for.]]

** Made worse when watching the BigDamnMovie after reading this volume. [[spoiler: You know that Riku and Shuvi won't live to see Disboard find peace considering how Tet words the story ''from the very beginning'', but you can't help but just hope... and ''hope'' after seeing them fall in love and work together with the rest of the Ghosts in bringing peace.]]

* The end of Episode 8. [[spoiler: Sora is removed from existence and makes the otherwise heartwarming ending theme very disturbing by removing him from it.]]
* And again at the end of Episode 9 [[spoiler: when Sora is brought back to existence, he's prepared to be punched by Shiro for leaving her alone to figure out how to win the game. What does she do instead? Cries and apologizes for not being able to win sooner]].
