History Webcomic / MyDeepestSecret

** [[spoiler:Emma comes to terms with the fact that she murdered Elios and his girlfriend, and has been hallucinating his presence this whole time, even using him as a cover of sorts to enact violence on people who have wronged her. In the end she turns herself into the police, where she is remanded to a mental hospital to get the treatment she needs, possibly for the rest of her life. However, she never actually killed Elios, Farah, Sophie, or her lecherous professor, so she's not a murderer. She also seemingly bids goodbye to her version of Elios, stating that she's finally happy.]]

* AmbiguousDisorder:
** Elios is all but stated to be a sociopath, the only thing making it unambiguous is that it hasn't been stated. [[spoiler: Or rather, Emma's hallucinated version of Elios is.]]
** [[spoiler: Emma's childhood trauma causes her to stalk the real Elios because he was always kind to her, and she tries to kill his girlfriend when it's clear that he's not going to leave her. When Emma believes she's murdered Elios, she hallucinates a version of Elios that borders on being a split personality, the perfect boyfriend who will hurt anyone who tries to hurt Emma.]]

* SurpriseCreepy: The entire series. It looks cute, but the art only belies the disturbing aspects.

* TriangRelations: A type 4, as it turns out in Episode 60. Emma and Elios are in a relationship, and Yohan has a crush on Emma.
** Subverted as of Episode 69, seeing as [[spoiler: there is no Elios!]]

** [[spoiler:Elios and Farah didn't die that night--Farah was almost hit by a car that was driven by a doctor, who was able to revive Elios, perform first aid on him, and get him to a hospital. They're both still together, and have just opened up a second branch of their coffee house in his hometown. It's also revealed that Elios is Mr. Oscar's grandson, as they share the same last name. He even strikes up a friendship with Yohan when the latter visits the his café.]]

In the end she turns herself into the police, where she is remanded to a mental hospital to get the treatment she needs, possibly for the rest of her life.

On the plus side, she never actually killed Elios, Farah, Sophie, or her lecherous professor, so she's not a murderer at least.]]
