  • While on a mission in Oceania, Qwenthur and Havia are kidnapped by a group of local armed people, who want them to destroy the Capitalist Corporations Object operating in the region, as it's firing weapons in the area to fulfill a quota with the pretext of eliminating armed forces and defending its base. To convince the two the group shows them a hut filled with kids, 10-15 years of age, that have been crippled by the Object as collateral damage. The worst part? Qwenthur and Havia quickly point out that there's no way an Object bombardment would leave as many obvious injuries that would inspire sadness and rage on people, since most of the time they don't even leave a proper corpse. No, instead the children had been carved up by the locals themselves so as to emotionally blackmail the duo into stopping the Object. The children volunteered to do this.
  • Princess Stavia spent years dodging assassination attempts by her own brother, with only her loyal maid for protection and companionship after the bodyguards she loved were apparently massacred. With her maid captured and facing torture, she agreed to take part in a duel she could not possibly win to spare her. Despite having resolved herself to accept this fate, she admitted she didn't want to die.
  • Piranirie Smoky Martini's death is shockingly sad. After all of her insanity fades away, she's confused and trying to understand how she was led to her current path, before uttering a final lost "Mom". Katarina, who was in a way her second mother, tries desperately to revive her before breaking down sobbing while cradling the girl's body.
