History Main / YouAreNotAlone

* Kurt Vonnegut in Timequake: ''Many people need desperately to receive this message: "I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people don't care about them. You are not alone.''

--->'''Alfred:''' I am going to tell you something that I wish I had told another little boy years ago. ''You are not alone''.

** One Piece is praticly this trope all together! None of them are really alone because they'll always have one another.

* In one of the early seasons of Pokemon, ash chases after Pikachu during a blizzard, and gets hopelessly lost/ separated from Misty and Brock. He digs a snow cave and starts to shiver, waiting for morning, and all his pokemon come out to keep him warm. they refuse to return to their pokeballs.
--> Ash, shivering and crying: "I guess we'll all be cold together."

* TheDreamlandChronicles [[http://www.thedreamlandchronicles.com/the-dreamland-chronicles/page-904%E2%80%A6/ Orion's pledge to Alex]]

* In [=~Kyon: Big Damn Hero~=], [[spoiler:Michikyuu Kanae]] concludes that staying in the world will [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies put the SOS Brigade at risk]]. [[{{Nakama}} The rest of the brigade tell her that she can trust them with her troubles, the same way she has helped them before.]]

Is frequently a SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming. Can overlap with BigDamnHeroes if the JustInTime element is there. Can be used to bring people out of a TenMinuteRetirement. The GoodSamaritan will offer this kind of help even to random strangers. DyingAlone is particularly horrible, and so this comes into play with particular sharpness. Many a BadassCreed is based on the idea that the BadAss is just part of many, kill them and another will be there to carry on the fight.

* ''{{Kingdom Hearts}}'' naturally has one, being a game based on the power of friendship and such. Sora's keyblade is taken from him by Riku and Donald and Goofy leave him (as they had orders to follow the keyblade). Later, he catches up to them and when Riku attacks Sora, Goofy blocks the attack followed by Donald joining him and stating "Well, you know: all for one and one for all." Cue Sora's speech about not needing the keyblade, since his friends are his power. (After which the keyblade immediately reappears in his hand).

* This trope is featured in Like You by Evanescence "No matter what they tell you, you are NOT aloooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnne"

* Towards the end of PhantomOfTheOpera (the musical), Christine sings to Phantom, "Pitiful creature of darkness/ what kind of life have you known?/ God gives me courage to show you/ you are not alone."

--> Patsy: ''I'm here'', you twat!

* In ''[[Grandia]]'', Guido snaps Justin from his HeroicBSOD by gathering all the past party members to encourage him.

*** Same thing with Sora, only it's Matt that save her.

* During Maka's final fight with Crona in SoulEater, Maka manages to enter Crona's mind and erase the circle Crona had mentally drawn to keep people out, then proceeds to walk towards Crona in real life after waking up in the threat of being impaled. Maka then gives Crona a hug[[spoiler:, which completely purifies Crona's soul, weakens Ragnarok to childish proportions, removes any essence of Kishin energy from Crona, makes Crona cry in happiness, and now causes Crona to want to hang on Maka nearly all the time like a security blanket (albeit still walking behind Maka as a scared child behind their parent).]]

** And done again four games later in FFXIII where Fang has careened straight over that DespairHorizon only for the other characters to come striding out of the darkness to remind her that they'll stand together till the end.

* I think BioWare just likes this trope. The 'you are not alone' speech is the primary method of convincing both [[spoiler:Aribeth]] and [[spoiler:Bastilla]] to come back from the Dark Side.
** Hell, your {{Nakama}} uses it on the PlayerCharacter in KOTOR and JadeEmpire. In {{Knights of the Old Republic}} [[spoiler: All the crew, save Carth, rally around you after TheReveal (Juhani's lines were cut, but they were CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming). Carth comes around later, and in a big way if you play female. And at the Rakatan Temple, Jolee and Juhani step up, insisting that you will not be alone when you face your destiny]].

* Early in ''[[TheThrawnTrilogy Heir to the Empire]]'', Obi-Wan appears to Luke Skywalker in a dream. Luke tells him that it's been a long time, and Obi-Wan tells him that it's going to be a lot longer - he's here to say goodbye. He can't be Luke's SpiritMentor anymore. When he vanishes, a despairing Luke thinks that that's it - he's alone. The last Jedi. The last thing Obi-Wan tells him ''Not the last of the old, Luke. The first of the new.''

When a dash of UnfortunateImplications are added, this trope becomes LonersAreFreaks instead. Contrast EtTuBrute and StopHelpingMe.
