* A lot from the Act of Reality, and not just because it hits too close to home.

And at the end of it all, every single one of them died, with a whopping ''7'' due to suicide.

[[folder: Main Story]]
* A lot from the Act of Reality, and not just because it hits too close to home. Among other things, Pinocchio and the Three Little Pigs had AbusiveParents, Alice kept clinging on to her teacher despite their breakup because to her, he was her whole world, and Sleeping Beauty suffered from an incurable disease that is all but stated to be the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleine-Levin_syndrome one named after her fairytale]]. And at the end of it all, [[spoiler: every single one of them died, with a whopping ''7'' due to suicide]]. It gets worse if similar stories to theirs have appeared in real-world news, or if the reader has known someone (or even went through) what the Characters did.
* Hard Mode for the Act of Elimination (Part 1) is out, and get ready for an emotional ride because the stories within are all from the perspective of each chapter's losers.
** Aladdin may be a gentleman (if a bit money-obsessed), but ultimately all he wanted was to [[spoiler: be with his princess again]], regretting not asking for her hand in marriage while still a poor boy. When he died, the woman of his dreams wasn't Rapunzel, whom he had been courting, but the princess from his tale who died when he lost his lamp. It's later implied that this was why he didn't take up Parrah and Noya's offer of [[BackFromTheDead revival]] - so that [[spoiler: he could be TogetherInDeath with the princess he loved]].
--> '''Aladdin''': "Oh, my princess. Please. \\
I promise next time to propose to you. \\
I'd say that even if I were my young self without money again...."
** For all of Snow White's convictions that she is just as Justice itself, her inner thoughts towards the end heavily implies that her Reality counterpart's ArmorPiercingQuestion has really gotten to her, [[spoiler: and ultimately was the cause of her own demise.]] Despite trying to justify herself about her masters to her opponent, she never expected someone to truly question her justice.
* Speaking of Part 1, it's not like the winners have it easy either. For starters, Red Riding Hood's chapter has the two versions of her being genuine friends with one another, but [[spoiler: Library!Red Riding Hood's demise]] became the catalyst of Reality!Red Riding Hood's own SanitySlippage, and when Part 2 comes around she's even worse than what she originally was.
* The Three Little Pigs' chapter in the Act of Elimination (Part 2) features an appearance by their Reality counterparts. Even after all that they've been through, all three of them are still trying to earn their mother's love via rooting for their Library counterparts to win. And it's also heavily implied that [[spoiler: the 2 sets of triplets did meet, and the side that emerged victorious was the Library side]].
* The ending to the Act of Authors. Once the truth of the[[spoiler: GottaKillEmAll scenario the Characters were repeatedly involved in and the futility of fully reviving their authors sets in]], absolutely no one is happy about it, and the sole verse in Chapter 5 has everyone silently [[spoiler: murdering each other after crossing the DespairEventHorizon, with the only sound made is Alice's OneWomanWail song of despair over losing Lewis Carroll a second time]]. The chapter ends with [[spoiler:Alice as the SoleSurvivor again, the Lifeforce from the other Characters coming together, and Parrah and Noya' cryptic hint about Project [=SINoALICE=], which involves Reality. As in, ''our'' world.]]
* Dear Lord, Sleeping Beauty just ''can't'' catch a break whenever the main story is set in some form of Reality. Aside from her already depressing ends in the Acts of Reality, Fusion and Elimination, the Act of [=SINoALICE=] [[spoiler: has her killed by a Nightmare-fied Dark!Little Match Girl after bearing witness to the chaos that occured when the game started]]. And that's after the duo found out about the Nightmares here.
* In Chapter 4 of Dorothy and the Three Little Pigs' Act of [=SINoALICE=], Dorothy develops a bomb that will completely eliminate [[spoiler: the Nightmarefied Pokelabo staff]], but doing so will cause Dorothy to lose her own life in the process. Dorothy isn't bothered by this since she's developed a hypothesis that she'll just respawn in the Library when she dies... [[spoiler: when the Pigs take the bomb from her and commit a HeroicSacrifice, having regained their memories from the Acts of Elimination.]] For the first time in her life since her journey in Oz Dorothy's upset over losing people she's cared about, and since she and the Pigs have started to view each other as sisters she's notably not her usual chipper self [[spoiler: after the Pigs commit a suicide bombing to save her and she slowly realizes her true purpose in the game]].

* The ending to the Taiwanese version. [[spoiler: Alice finds herself repeating the same thing as she did in the beginning of her story by following a rabbit into a maze. There, she finds doors that have things written by the other Characters on them, but chose to find another path because she felt like those words were reflections of herself. Eventually she starts breaking down as she gets overwhelmed by fighting the Nightmares while finding an escape from reality. It's so bad, Parrah and Noya ask the player to save her and the souls of the others via the meaning of their arrival to Library - a key representing hope. The player and Alice then defeat the Character Nightmares and Alice thanks the player for [[AlwaysWithYou staying by her side the entire story]].

** One of the last things you (the player) does before your account's inevitable demise is to send a final message to your guild. If you want, you can make the already sad moment even sadder via your FinalSpeech, especially if you're the guildmaster or the glue holding the guild together.
* Even if the Global server's ending ended up similar to the Taiwanese version, tears were still shed as ''[=SINoALICE=]'' did give people the opportunity to befriend others around the world, with players saluting each other as they announced the demise of their accounts on social media and despite everything, the Global server still had a number of fans who still love the game till this day and specially waited until the last minute to play the ending and exit the game.
