LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow/TearJerker



"Kyouko, no... There is no way back. I will leave here myself and cleanse the street. The KnightWalkers and their followers will all pay for what they had done to the whole world. Tell Vento I love her. She is my only family. Family is forever, right? * beat * You seemed sad. Perhaps, you are an orphan, like me, but that does not mean if you don't know what family is. I am sorry for all of these things, I am sorry for that knight, I am sorry for those dirty works, but... that was all useless. Forgive me..."

- Maria Arzonia's tearful confession when she confronted Kyouko Kirigiri, The Corbin Files

The tearful events and characters in the entire LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow and its sequels, including tragic characters and heartbreaking moments.

Tragic Characters' Past

 * Ichabod Crane, the main protagonist, is the story's First Witness, at least the incarnation in the 18th Century and Modern Days due to his resurrection. Like many other Witness predecessor before him, his life suffered too much distress which also made him stronger.
 * Due to the factor of Ara Astaroth, it was revealed that Ichabod lost his mother when he was younger, and he was also greatly traumatized by a good friend of him being murdered by a killer under demonic posession, leaving him unnerved for many days and nights.
 * After learning what was in the back room of the church in Ichabod's childhood, his objection to the use of torture devices at Arthur Bernard's interrogation takes on a more serious light.
 * Maria Arzonia, arguably the future equaivlant of Ichabod, is no less tragic. Born as an illegiminate child, with her father abandoning her mother, Maria had a harsh childhood, especially after she lost her beloved
 * Abbie Mills
 * Katrina Crane in this storyline
 * Carl Robinson
 * Plaisir Permafrost / Melancholia

Haunting Past Sub Arc

 * Christine Van Bilj's flashback. In contrast to what we saw in Blood Moon Sub Arc, Christine in the past was actually very caring and protective towards her brother, and she had a respect towards her father. All of these positive qualities, nonetheless, went shattered by the revelation of Caspar's true intentions, driving Christine into a sad breakdown and was possessed by her inner demon known as Evil Christine, who is revealed to be the real murderer of Colin and the one who caused trouble in the previous sub arc. The real Christine, however, is remorseful over her fractricide.
