Vampire Knight/Tear Jerker

• Vampire Knight often makes me cry: when Ruka comes to Akatsuki in tears because Kaname is is being a Magnificent Bastard (which he usually is several people felt sad, because Ruka is usually shown to be a bit of an emotionless bitch. (Incidentally, after that scene she became a Broken Bird, poor thing). Also, and this is weird, but whenever Kaname slaps Aidou. For some reason (particularly when Ichio first turns up. Just Kaname's line of "I haven't taught him enough manners," and Aidou's expression of I will not cry, he does this to me all the time, dammit! made me want to MURDER Kaname Kuran. But, the weirdest Tear Lerker for me was at the end of the Fourth Volume's Night Class Side. Just... The fact that Aidou (again. He always makes me sad!) is sitting just staring blankly down, looking as though he's about to cry, and, because for that whole Night Class Side, he'd been all chirpy and hyper... The contrast was what made me sad...
  • Another Aidou-related example (different troper): when Kaname kills Aidou's father. I ship Kaname and Yuuki, so her reaction was heartwrenching as she watches the man she's pledged to kill a man. And a good one at that. And Aidou's face...' oh God, why Kaname, WHY?!?! *** Yet another Aido related example. After Kaname kills Aidos father. Aido is in a room sulking and Zero comes in to tell him that he can leave if he wants to or can ask the Chariman for details. Aido proceeds to break down saying something along the lines of, "If I'm tormented by hatred for Kaname sama and his sister tooYuki, No I won't become like that, I won't become like YOU, no matter how hard it is right now" Zero then walks away, with his signature face of no emotion. Despite this tropers love for Zero, she was utterly broken by Aidos words and started to wonder whether Aido or Zero was stronger.
