* In the final case of ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneySpiritOfJustice'', Dhurke Sahdmadhi informs his foster son Apollo Justice that he is dying of an illness and doesn't have long to live. [[spoiler:Or so Apollo was led to believe. It's not an illness, it's ''a gunshot wound'', and Dhurke is [[DeadAllAlong already dead.]] It makes sense in context.]]

* ''ComicBook/RobinSeries'': When Tim ends up in a delivery truck buried in concrete with no way to communicate to the outside world his reaction is to mentally apologize to Bruce, both for the fact that he is going to die and because while trying to think of what to do he figured that ComicBook/LadyShiva would recommend killing his fellow captive to preserve oxygen. Spoiler manages to find and save him since she was expecting to meet up with him for training and patrol that evening.

As this is a {{Death Trope|s}}, it also means there will be '''[[Administrivia/SpoilersOff unmarked spoilers]]'''.

DeathTrope means '''unmarked spoilers'''.

* ''Literature/ThebeAndTheAngryRedEye'' has a scene where a group of doomed astronauts make their [[PreSacrificeFinalGoodbye Pre-Sacrifice Final Goodbyes]] to Earth. One of them, TheMedic Dr. Slawvitz, apologizes to her medical students for not being able to make their graduation, which she had promised to do.

--> '''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Marth]]''': "Forgive me, my friends..."

* ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories'' - After biting off more than he could chew with Riku, Lexaeus's last words are an apology to Zexion (who isn't even present).

* Played with in ''Series/Forever2014'' when Henry is stabbed and lies dying in his beloved Abigail's arms; she doesn't yet know that he's immortal, so he's apologizing more for the fact that she won't understand what's happening when [[ResurrectiveTeleportation he vanishes]] than it is for dying itself. Likely also for the fact that he died publicly, thus will need to move on to a new identity, leaving her alone with baby Abraham. Or so he thinks…

DeathTrope means '''spoilers'''.

* In ''Manga/RGVeda'', one of the most {{Tear Jerker}}s moments (and in this manga, [[DownerEnding that's a lot]]) is when TheCutie of Ryou-oh is killed by Ashura's just awaken EnemyWithin and Ryou-oh ''apologizes'' to him for now being unable to fulfill his promise of protect him...all of that with a geniune but sad smile.

* After Nightmare Moon's forces raze Manehattan in ''FanFic/TheGodEmpressOfPonykind'', Celestia comes across the dying Dawn Sparkle who informs her Empress that she is no longer fit for active duty after trying and failing to slow the forces of Chaos down.
