History TearJerker / UndertaleYellow

* In the final battle of the Genocide Route against Martlet, she is desperate to put a stop to Clover's slaughter as she injects herself with a syringe of Determination from the True Lab. However, as the fight rages on and Clover keeps damaging Martlet, the Determination begins taking its toll on her, the bird begging for her body to hold on long enough to stop her foe, crying out that she doesn't want to die as she keeps trying to fight. Ultimately, it's all for naught, as once Clover has done enough damage, Martlet is left a melting husk. Unlike the Genocide route bosses from ''Undertale'' who would at least die either [[DefiantToTheEnd verbally spitting in the player's face]] or at least [[FaceDeathWithDignity staying composed]], Martlet is begging for it to stop, fearfully reaching out and screaming for help from anyone. But nobody came, as her body ultimately collapses and melts away before turning to dust. A tragic contrast from the birdbrained yet caring rookie Royal Guard from the start of the game.

* Due to this game acting as a prequel to ''Undertale'', Clover's death is [[ForegoneConclusion ultimately]] [[DoomedByCanon inevitable]] with the exception of the non-canon genocide route, especially since Flowey basically mandates it and erases any other option besides meeting their fate by Asgore. However, the True Pacifist route (the [[BittersweetEnding closest thing]] to a GoldenEnding we have) has Clover, exhausted from their battle with Ceroba, ultimately decide to [[HeroicSacrifice offer up their own Soul]] after knowing how much the monsters suffered being underground, as proof of their unwavering sense of Justice. "[[JumpedAtTheCall Someone calls for help, you answer the call]]", indeed.
** The True Pacifist route ends with [[BigDamnHug Clover hugging Ceroba,]] and his friends debating with what they should do next with Clover, Marlet brings up that they would not be able to beat Asgore, as he would unlikely listen to Clover or match his strength to beat him, Starlo thinks to hide Clover away, so that they could live forever, while Ceroba thinks is selfish, because the barrier needs just Two souls in order to break it and free all the monsters, while the discussion was going, Clover is shaking his head in sadness before he thinks of what he should do truly, [[InnerThoughtsOutsiderPuzzlement Clover stops listening to the world around it, slowly fading out, to fade in the white space of quotes that it heard during it's whole journey with the Player.]] From there it shows how Clover has managed to seperate it's own Yellow Soul from his body, shocking his nearby friends on what that mean it would do next, it assures them that "It's time" to HeroicSacrifice itself for the greater good of monster kind, everyone then does a final GroupHug with Clover, before [[ImDyingPleaseTakeMyMacGuffin it gives away his Revolver to Starlo,]] and [[ItWasAGift his Cowboy Hat to Marlet]] as she tells a remark that she can't no longer recognize the Clover as human without it now. And finally giving it's soul to Ceroba, before [[PreSacrificeFinalGoodbye she says her final goodbye to Clover,]] and leaving with the gang, Clover then falls down on the floor and struggles with his own soul being seperated further away from his body, as Flowey reminds it that it could Reset the timeline if it wanted to, but decides to give Clover it's desired rest, and also says his own goodbye to it, saying that they would meet again. With that Clover struggles to crawl up to wall, with it's last strength remaining, he leans up against it before dying, as camera pans away into the sky, with credits rolling and showing what has happened to everyone that Clover has met during it's journey, with how his soul was handled to King Asgore, to seeing Dalv finally performing infront of the audience, towards the end, Dalv, Marlet, Starlo, Ceroba, all meet up in the FuneralCut, where they store Clover's belongings on a boat, his hat, his gun, and also Starlo places Clover's safety glasses that they used in the duel with him, akin for them to be safe on the boat journey, Dalv although not being with Clover as much as with the other three were, also becomes sad when it drifts away from them deeper into the lake, while it drifts through the lake, the boat reaches the end of the lake, and tumbles down with Clover's belongings landing directly on the golden flower bed.
*** When going through the Dunes with Martlet, the two come across a well near the town. Interacting with it, Martlet will wish that [[DramaticIrony Clover makes it back home safely.]] Of course, to even see the cutscene to begin with, the player has to be on a non-Genocide run, meaning that the wish won't be fullfilled no matter what you do. And the only way to fullfill that wish IS to go full Genocide, which turns Martlet into your enemy.
* Kill Starlo during the fight against him, and his dying speech [[FaceDeathWithDignity has him admit he probably had it coming.]] And then he asks you to tell his parents he'll be gone for a while.
** [[MissedHimByThatMuch Ceroba comes up to you immediately after this and asks if you saw him.]] Say "I'm sorry" in response, and she thinks you haven't seen him and he's hiding somewhere as a result of the breakup of the Feisty Five. She then goes off to look for him, even asking his parents. Of course, they have no idea where he is.
* If you spare Guardener in the Neutral and Pacifist routes, she'll realise that the Steamworks have been abandoned for ages, and when she doesn't get an answer when she tries to call her creator, decides to go back into hibernation, not wanting to see what the world is like now. She isn't even present in the True Pacifist ending credits, meaning that she never came out of hibernation.
* During the Genocide battle against Axis, he admits his programming forced him to "neutralize" the last human who fell into the Underground. Clover is enraged and their LOVE increases to 15. They then destroy Axis's shield with a Big Shot, leading him to ''beg for his life'' while apologizing and saying he didn't ''want'' to hurt the human. Clover, unmoved, obliterates him with a ''KamehameHadoken'' as their LOVE further increases to 19. After the blast, you're treated to a sight of Axis's shattered remains before the "YOU WON" dialogue comes up.
* For the final battle of the Genocide Route against Martlet, she is desperate to put a stop to Clover's slaughter as she injects herself with some Determination from the True Lab. However, as the fight rages on and Clover keeps managing to damage Martlet, the Determination begins taking its toll on her, the bird begging for her body to hold on long enough to stop her foe, crying out that she doesn't want to die as she keeps trying to fight. But it's ultimately all for naught, as once Clover has done enough damage, Martlet is left a melting husk, and unlike the Genocide route bosses from ''Undertale'' who would at least die either [[DefiantToTheEnd verbally spitting in the player's face]] or at least [[FaceDeathWithDignity staying composed]], Martlet is begging for it to stop, fearfully reaching out and screaming for help from anyone... But nobody came, as her body ultimately collapses and melts away before turning to dust. A tragic contrast from the birdbrained yet caring rookie Royal Guard from the start of the game.

** Ceroba doesn't know what happened to her daughter, only that she was sent to the lab and has been there for a long time, and hasn't heard anything about her since. Of course, anyone who knows the original game knows that she's now an amalgamate. Kanako, a small child, has been melted together with likely multiple other monsters, trapped in a dark lab. And there's a good chance they'll never see each other again, given that Alphys only reveals the truth about the Amalgamates on one route.
** At the end of the Pacifist route, once you've beaten Ceroba enough, she'll ask you to finish her off, believing that she deserves it after what she's done. If you choose to do so, she'll thank you for it before fading away. However, you then have to break the news to Starlo when he asks where Ceroba went, and he tries to deny it at first, and even when Martlet tries to vouch for Clover, saying that they killed her in self defense, Starlo will still be unhappy and makes it clear that he no longer considers you a friend.
* If you kill Ceroba on a Pacifist run, Clover and Martlet will continue to the throne room, where Martlet's attempt to convince Asgore not to fight Clover fails, and she can only walk off in sadness after Clover agrees to the fight. Asgore himself tries to keep smiling, and one line of dialogue implies that he wouldn't be upset if they killed him. Even if he hasn't quite reached the level of reluctance he had in ''Undertale'', he still isn't happy about doing what he believes needs to be done.

* Checking the couch in the Feisty Five's room, and Clover will have some unpleasant memories return due to the cramped living conditions.
* Once the kill count in Snowdin has been exhausted, the resort will be mostly empty except for the band, who are all looking sad at what's happening.
* Go into the Wild East Salon on a Genocide run, and Dina will still be there, mourning Starlo and Ceroba. She's so saddened by their deaths that she doesn't even stop you from stealing from the bar.
* On the Neutral Run, sparing Axis by complimenting him is surprisingly effective, but that's not the sad part. The sad part comes in when he talks about how he is envious of you by admitting that he's jealous of your freedom and that Monsters and Humans have one thing in common: Individuality. It doesn't help that he admits that his programming made him forgot "Basic Decency" in his words. In a sense of irony considering Flowey, you have no Freedom at all in the end, you're just a Puppet, just like Axis in a way. Perhaps Clover spared and complimented Axis because they deep down knows what it feels to have no Freedom as well?

On the Neutral Run, Spare Axis by complimenting him which is surprisingly effective, But that's not the Sad Part. The Sad part comes in when he talks about how essentially Axis is envious of you by admitting that he's jealous of your freedom and that Monsters and Humans have one thing in common: Individuality. It doesn't help that he admits that his programming made him forgot "Basic Decency" In his words... and the worst part? In a sense of Irony considering Flowey... You have no Freedom at all in the end... Your just a Puppet... Just like Axis in a way... Perhaps Clover could Spare and Compliment Axis because... he deep down knows what it feels to have no Freedom as well?

And finally giving it's soul to Ceroba, before [[PreSacrificeFinalGoodbye she says her final goodbye to Clover,]] and leaving with the gang, Clover then falls down on the floor and struggles with his own soul being seperated further away from his body, as Flowey reminds it that it could Reset the timeline if it wanted to, but decides to give Clover it's desired rest, and also says his own goodbye to it, saying that they would meet again. With that Clover struggles to crawl up to wall, with it's last strength remaining, he leans up against it before dying, as camera pans away into the sky, with credits rolling and showing what has happened to everyone that Clover has met during it's journey, with how his soul was handled to King Asgore, to seeing Dalv finally performing infront of the audience, towards the end, Dalv, Marlet, Starlo, Ceroba, all meet up in the FuneralCut, where they store Clover's belongings on a boat, his hat, his gun, and also Starlo places Clover's safety glasses that they used in the duel with him, akin for them to be safe on the boat journey, Dalv although not being with Clover as much as with the other three were, also becomes sad when it drifts away from them deeper into the lake, while it drifts through the lake, the boat reaches the end of the lake, and tumbles down with Clover's belongings landing directly on the golden flower bed.

** If you spare Dalv on a Genocide run, he'll ask why you thought he deserved to live and not the other monsters, and then wonder if you spared him [[CruelMercy just so he could suffer from being truly alone]], before going off to hide in his room. What makes it worse is that sparing him ''doesn't'' abort the route, implying that Clover really did leave him as the only survivor of the Dark Ruins for that reason.

** If you abort your Genocide run by sparing Dalv, he'll ask why you thought he deserved to live and not the other monsters, and then wonder if you spared him [[CruelMercy just so he could suffer from being truly alone]], before going off to hide in his room.
