* Juan’s death between the first and second acts. We’re never told how he died, but seeing as the guy is a drug dealer, it likely wasn’t peaceful. But the idea that he is gone is especially hurtful considering that he was the closest thing to a father that Chiron had. A man who actually cared about him and tried to teach him to be at peace with himself is gone from his life forever.
* Seeing the relationship between Paula and Chiron deteriorate, particularly in Act II, where he is witness to what his mom can be like when she's off her drugs. [[spoiler: Culminating in her reconciliation conversation with him at the end.]]

** When speaking with a social worker, Chiron breaks down and refuses to name his attackers as he believes it won't change anything.

* The scene at Theresa's dinner table, between Juan and Chiron, during the 'Little' segment. Just watching Juan's face and silent nods and feeling the silence grow stronger, as he answers Chiron's ArmorPiercingQuestion sequence. It showcases why MahershalaAli deserved his Oscar, but it also breaks your heart.
