* ''Shouldn’t You Be In School?'' is full of these, but the very end of the book hits particularly hard with a reminder of the choices Lemony has had to make and how they've impacted not only him but also Kit:

* Ellington, just, flatout bursting into tears when she unexpectedly sees a picture of her father. It's a sobering reminder that for all of the trouble and deceit, she's still a lonely young girl who's stuck in a horrible situation, and just wanted her father back.

-->"What's the news, Moxie?" I asked quietly, but she just shook her head and turned away. Her expression was grim, and her eyes looked dark and haunted like the dead windows of so many buildings in town. I looked from her to the others, and everywhere it was the same. Friend or enemy, associate or stranger, they all shrank from me.

It's not exactly a Lemony Snicket series if it doesn't have its own doses of sad moments.

--> It doesn't matter if you never see someone again, I told myself. There are millions of people in the world, and most of them never see each other in the first place. You hoped to know Ellington Feint forever, but there's no such thing as forever, really. Everything is much shorter than that.
* At the end of the series, Lemony's friends break away from him. It's understandable--they've just witnessed him commit a horrible act--but it's still very painful to see, especially after all the sacrifices he made to keep them and the town safe. Even worse, this sort of rejection is merely a taste of the exile will come to experience as an adult.

* Near the end of ''When Did You See Her Last?'' the book seems to end on a surprisingly positive note for a Snicket story; the girl has been found, Ellington's escaped. Then Snicket remembers that Hangfire's still on the loose--and all the horrible plans he seemed to have in mind (including ''child shackles'')-- and admits to himself that he doesn't really know what to do, or where he belongs. Then he goes home and tries to cry himself to sleep next to his drunken chaperone. [[FromBadToWorse The next morning he gets what's probably the worst news he's ever had.]] His sister has been arrested ''because she couldn't lift the hatch on her own.''
