2	* Artemis's situation in the first book is quite distressing from an objective point of view - his mother is mentally addled from grief and refuses to leave her attic room, his father is missing and presumed dead, and he's virtually alone in a house with no one but his bodyguards for company.
3	** The part where he goes into his (insane) mother's bedroom and she doesn't recognize him only gets sadder as you age.
4	* Butler's [[spoiler:temporary death]] in ''The Eternity Code''. His instinct is to throw himself between Artemis and the threat. The heartbreaking part is Artemis is so much more than just a job to him - [[spoiler:as Butler dies,]] he tells Artemis his first name. The scene only gets sadder when you look at Artemis, who's crying and thinking about [[spoiler:how they were supposed to die together.]]
5	-->''"Please... call me [[spoiler:Domovoi]]."''
6	* [[spoiler: Commander Root's death]] in ''The Opal Deception''. Simply everything in that chapter.
7	** Likewise, Holly's reaction when she believes [[spoiler: Artemis and Butler have been bio-bombed]] This is the first time that we see her cry, and it shows, especially in the graphic novel.
8	* Holly [[spoiler: saying goodbye to Commander Root in ''The Time Paradox'' because she never got a chance to during ''The Opal Deception''.]]
9	* The entire chapter of ''The Last Guardian'' [[spoiler:where Artemis is about to sacrifice himself to stop Opal opening the second lock, and he reflects on how he has matured and how 11-year-old Artemis would never have dreamt of risking his life like this. Then Holly tries to sedate him to go in his place...]]
10	** [[spoiler: Most particularly, when Butler catches Artemis (who, need I remind you, has been his sole purpose for god-knows-how-long and who he cares for very much and would do anything to protect) and Artemis is already dead.]]
11	** These lines from the same book:
12	--->[[spoiler: Holly: "Please don't hate me forever, Artie. I couldn't bear that."]]
13	--->[[spoiler: Artemis: "I was a broken boy and you fixed me. Thank you."]]
