Basic Trope: A group carries along an injured person to save them, only for them to die anyway.
- Straight: Bob and his True Companions are traveling through a monster-filled area when they come upon the Sole Survivor of a town, who had his arm torn off in a monster attack and has lost some blood. They carry him along to try to find a doctor, but along the way he dies anyway.
- Exaggerated: Bob and his True Companions pick up a Sole Survivor who has a concussion and lost both arms (losing a lot of blood) several days ago, resulting in his wounds becoming infected. He dies after having a heartfelt conversation with them.
- Downplayed: Bob and his True Companions pick up a survivor who ended up battered from a monster attack. He lives for most of the mission, only dying when he pulls a You Shall Not Pass! on a monster.
- Justified:
- The survivor was simply too injured to survive.
- The survivor's injury would attract the monsters.
- Inverted: Bob and his friends pick up a survivor injured in a monster attack. They die but he survives.
- Subverted: During a later part of the mission, the survivor goes into convulsions and stops breathing...But Alice brings him back with CPR and he lives.
- Double Subverted: ... Until the end of the mission, when he gets injured again, this time fatally.
- Parodied: ???
- Averted: No injured people appear in the work.
- Enforced: ???
- Lampshaded:Bob: Look, it's no good you carrying me along; I'll die anyway!
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
