Tear Jerker / If I Stay

• Both Hope Spots. The first is when Mia's dad goes into surgery, the second when Teddy survives the crash, only to die from an epidural hemorrhage in the hospital
  • Between these two, Mia tells her comatose self to get better, so that Teddy won't be alone.
  • After Teddy dies, Mia laments he will never grow up, graduate college, and get a girlfriend or wife.
  • The sole fact that Mia's entire family dies.
• Grampa's speech to Mia while she's in a coma. He confesses that her dad gave up his rock band so that he could support her cello work and says that if she wants to die, then it's all right. Manly Tears are abundant.
