1* Kiki's tearful flashback to her time in animals testing labs where another talking ferret named Tuffy died. Its the only serious moment Kiki has ''ever'' gotten in this entire series.
2* [[spoiler: Mosp's death]] definitely counts as she sacrifices herself for [[spoiler: Torg.]] [[https://archives.sluggy.com/book.php?chapter=43#2004-11-16]]
3* While Torg's badassery in "That Which Redeems" is undeniable, his answer to Chaz over his "Redemption is overrated" statement in defeating Horribus after Alt!Zoe's death is heartbreaking.
4--> '''Chaz''': You impress me, Master. How did you know what you sought was redemption and not righteous vengeance?
5--> '''Torg''': Horribus never promised to keep her safe.
6* In the denouement to that story, Torg finds out that the Torg he rescued from the Dimension of Pain was not actually the Dimension of Lame's Torg, but a ReplacementGoldfish that Alt!Riff brought over, resulted in Torg being disgusted with Alt!Riff and conflicted over whether Alt!Zoe saw him as a person or a replacement for her husband. The story ends with Torg returning home and having a silent breakdown upon seeing Zoe in a dialogue-less strip.
7* The [[http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/090820 finale]] of the [=bROKEN=] arc.
8* Toward the end of 4U City Red:
9-->'''Riff''': She was the best. The '''best'''. All the craziness Torg and I put her through? She always did right. By everyone. She always '''shined'''. Remember that. Embrace that. And then let her go.
10* A flashback to Queen Siphaniana's childhood has her meeting [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/131104 Tempest, God of Fate, for the first time]]. She mentions her father and he, curious as to why that name sounds familiar, checks the fate web. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Then he stops smiling]]. Apparently her father was later brutally tortured to death, and there was nothing anyone could do to stop it.
11-->'''Uncle Time:''' You go home and give your daddy the biggest hug ever. Hugs are very important. Can you do that for me?
12* [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/weekly/090928 U4 Torg is lost without Zoë.]] In fact, every dimension where a Torg or a Zoë lose one another is heartbreaking.
13** To the point Wilcott admits that it'd be kinder to kill them both rather than leave one of them alive.
