History Tearjerker / SkipBeat

** Kyoko's reaction to hearing those words. She doesn't get angry, doesn't start to cry, or even seems to react at first. She just grabs Corn's stone and rushes out, heading straight into Shou. And she doesn't even have her grudge demons attack him. She's just standing there, getting more and more shut off to the world, with [[https://www.mangareader.net/skip-beat/223/9 empty eyes]].

* When [[spoiler: Kyoko runs into Ren after a magazine published pictures of him kissing another actress]] - she just looks [[https://www.mangareader.net/skip-beat/271/3 completely gutted]] before turning to full-on ''run away from him''.

** And when Cain Heel ends up attracting an actress' affection because of a very minor interaction with her, Kyoko accidentally answers very un-Setsuka-like and claims she really isn't angry about this. Kyoko then thinks about how she's used to not admitting her feelings -- even smiling at Shou, after seeing him kiss another girl -- and her eyes are just sad.

** Kyoko then realizes that Tokyo does not contain Corn's forest, where she saw the fairy boy and always went to when she needed to cry.

* What has happened to Erika Koenji in the ''The Lotus in the Mire'' arc. [[spoiler:Taking Kanae's words to heart, she started working on gaining roles based on nothing but her own acting skills, and even managed to get the role of Momiji in ''The Lotus in the Mire''. Then Kimiko Morizumi shoves Erika into the street, who gets dragged along by a car for some time. Her physical injuries are mostly scratches, and some bumps and bruises, but her psychological trauma is so bad that she can't use her legs.]]

* Any flashback showing a young Kyouko trying to interact with her mother.
* Sanae Mogami [[spoiler:stating on national TV that she has no child]].
** Kyouko's reaction to this news. She isn't crying. She isn't angry, or even unleashing her demons when Shou shows up. She just stands there and becomes more and more shut off from the world. Her eyes are completely blank and empty.
** Shortly after, she sees Ren and mistakes him for Corn, and she just starts crying and walks up to him like a little child would run up to her mother. It's utterly heartbreaking to watch her break down so hard. Even Ren is shocked and doesn't move for a few panels.
* Ren's catatonic breakdown when he's almost in a car accident while shooting a scene.
* Kyouko's reaction to realizing that she's fallen in love with Ren. She isn't happy or even angry. She's scared. Terrified of what might happen to her now, recalling just how foolish she was the last time she was in love.

* What has happened to Erika Koenji. [[spoiler:Turns out that she took Kanae's words to heart and has worked on gaining roles based on her own skill, without using her family name to influence decisions. When she manages to get the role of Momiji in ''Lotus in the Mire'', Kimiko Morizumi shoves her into the street, and Erika gets dragged along by a car. Her physical injuries aren't too bad and she rather quickly awoke from a coma, but she's so badly traumatized that she can't use her legs.]]

* Every single flashback that shows Kyouko's relationship with her mother.
* Ren's complete catatonic breakdown when he's nearly in a car accident while shooting a scene.
* [[spoiler: Kyoko's mother goes on national tv, and declares she doesn't have a child while Kyoko is watching.]]
** Kyoko's reaction is extended and gutwrenching. She doesn't cry. She doesn't get angry and unleash a flood of demons, even when Sho shows up. Her eyes are completely blank and empty. Understandably, Sho freaks out.
** When she later ends up [[spoiler: mistaking Ren for Corn]], she just starts crying and walks up to him like a little child would run to her mother. It is utterly heartbreaking to watch her break down so hard, even [[spoiler: Ren]] was shocked and didn't move for a few panels.
* The reveal of what has become of Erika Koenji: [[spoiler: she got pushed into traffic, got caught in a car's bumper leading to her being dragged for quite a distance before the driver noticed, ending up horribly bruised in the process. While those wounds have mostly healed, she is mentally so shocked that she hasn't walked or talked since then. Why? Because she got a role fair and square and a rival really hated not getting that role, thus pushing her in front of a car]]. Her servants explaining that she changed her RichBitch ways and had learned from her earlier meeting with the Love Me section makes it only more painful.
