What's a fictional death that really stayed with you? (spoilers obviously)

Matthew in Anne of Green Gables. Really, really sad death. Still not over it!

Question: Does Lemmy spoiler markdown work on Piefed as well?

Example.

A fictional character's death in the Witcher books.

I was reading a fantasy book about a monster hunter, I didn't expect that one, last paragraph of a chapter, out of the blue, would make me actually uncontrollably cry. The author has been criticized for his writing style but holy shit this was like waking up from a dream that suddenly turned into a nightmare.

And no, it's not a character you necessarily know if you've only played the games.

A fresh one.
