Tear Jerker / Alien Nine

• The last episode. It's sad enough seeing Kumi and Yuri (along with their teacher) being mind-raped into thinking that they're all alone in the world. None of them can see or hear the others, and Kumi actually breaks down and begins to scream and cry for her mother and father, sobbing "Don't leave! Please, don't leave me!" over and over again. Then at the end of the episode, as the ending theme song plays (which is already sad in itself) we see Yuri go sit at their usual meeting place, Kasumi suddenly running, all intermingled with images of bookshelves flying by faster and faster...and then we see that Kumi has been killed by skating at top speed into a book-case, which has actually bent in on itself from the force, after being ambushed by an alien. Kasumi and Kumi's Borg discover the body, we're treated to a close-up on Kumi's blood-stained, tear-streaked face, and then Yuri awakes from her nap. Having apparently witnessed what has happened in a dream, the camera zooms in steadily on her face as tears spill over from her eyes instantly, and she lets out a heartbroken wail as the episode cuts to black.
• Kumi calling her mother after the Yellowknife incident, and subsequently breaking down into tears.
  "He—hello, Mommy? It's me, Kumi....N-No, I'm alright, everything's fine." *starts sobbing* "E-everything's fine!"
• The girls' end-of-semester reports after second semester finishes up. Kasumi's is positive, considering that she no longer feels alone in the world; Kumi's is resolute, realizing that she now knows what it means to have a real responsibility and vows to protect her friends; however, Yuri's is still justifiably sad and scared, talking about how she still hates aliens and never liked being in the Alien Party but she doesn't regret the friends she made there.
