- Ash wanting to be fixed, and Daniel sadly realizing that Sanity Slippage isn't something that can be healed by physical means.
- Stasya opening Patrick's gift. They were so close to having a real future together. It's made worse when you realize Stasya had already lost a family, and now she's lost her Replacement Goldfish as well.
- Even after Wren crosses the Moral Event Horizon the first time it's clear Adam still loves her and wants to get her away from the Cabal in the hopes of saving her.
- Adam is made to kill his best friend. It's made worse by the fact his best friend realizes that Adam has no choice, and doesn't even try to defend himself so as not to hurt Adam any further.
