| 1 | * Crane's vicious beating by teenage bullies in ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3530148/1/The_Paean_of_the_Bells Paean of the Bells]]'' is an absolutely brutal scene. As nasty as he is in the present, he wasn't always like that, and the bullies are brutally beating up on him just ForTheEvulz [[AdultsAreUseless while everyone with the authority to do something about it]] [[ApatheticCitizens looks the]] [[BystanderSyndrome other way.]] The gang's leader was [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections the mayor's son]]. It's no wonder he's so misanthropic as an adult. |
| 2 | * The fate of Karen and Marilyn Keeny in ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5999604/1/Small_World Small World]]'', crossing over with NightmareFuel. Marilyn in particular is completely innocent and has no idea why Crane is so angry with her, and even the girls feel sympathy for her when Crane tortures her. Karen [[ParentalAbandonment does know]], and tries and fails to protect her daughter. Her last moments are desperate apologies while Crane coldly calls her a liar. |
| 3 | * When Crane is ill in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3600414/1/April-Showers April Showers]]'', he hallucinates various people standing by his bedside, including his mother and father - [[SelfMadeOrphan both of whom he killed himself]], and he notes that [[ParentalAbandonment the real ones were never there when he was sick]]. |
