"No..."

- The scene where Heather discovers Harry dead, as well as the scene where she laments because she never got to tell him how much she loved him.Heather: Dad. You used to tell me that you were the strongest man in the world... Liar...
- Also the scene before the end credits, where she breaks down in tears when her thoughts turn to Harry.
Heather: Dad...- This is one for the player too if they played the first game. Harry, who the player spent the entire first game with, watching as this man put himself through a literal hell to save his daughter, is dead. Without so much as a struggle. And he's never coming back.
- Even worse, the last time she talks to her father was on the phone at the beginning of the game. She was happy and sweet and even states that she loves him. And then...
- Douglas' recollection of his son's death.Douglas: You.. remind me of my son...
Heather: I thought you said nobody was going to cry over you.
Douglas: Dead people don't cry.- Douglas casually mentions that his son got fatally shot while trying to rob a bank, frustrated at his father's failure to bring in a proper wage. The way he says it with such resignation says so much about how hardened the man is to any kind of loss or tragedy. Also Truth in Television, since real-life private detectives are known to have a lot of difficulties finding work.
- This exchange:Heather: You think you're Superman or something?
Douglas: You know... I always wanted to be him. - As Heather goes to leave, Douglas points a gun at her, questioning if killing Heather would end all of this madness. And Heather herself replies that maybe it'd be better if she died.
- Heather's attitude towards Douglas and his injured leg, trying to believe that maybe she'll be able to save him and that he'll be okay. Earlier she dismissed him and then got angry at how his investigations indirectly had her father murdered. Now she's trying to give him hope that he'll survive, between fear and anger at him being injured for her sake.
Heather: Why did you have to do that for me?! What'll I do if you die? - Claudia admitting that, despite believing her actions are for the salvation of all mankind, she doesn't expect to be saved and even feels remorse for what she did to Heather. Even Heather looks really stunned by Claudia's admission of remorse, although that doesn't last, as a not-quite-dead Vincent joins the conversation.
- Most of these scenes also feature sad music, which makes it all the more tear-jerking.
- The letter from Harry to Heather which mentions how he still felt the loss of his daughter Cheryl after she was absorbed back into the reborn Alessa.
- In addition, Dad's Notebook exposes enormous inner turmoil that Harry had over baby Heather. The poor man couldn't be sure that the baby he escaped with in the first game's Good Ending was Cheryl, Alessa, or some combination of the two, and it wore at him heavily. Imagine wondering if the kid you just brought home was yours or some strangers and not your own beloved child. And Harry seals it with one line:Several times, I considered abandoning her. That's what a terrible person I am.
