(Major spoilers) in the final sequence in district 12, Lucy leaves the cabin stating she’s going to collect food. But it’s heavily implied she’s actually leaving as she’s realised at best he’s going to abandon her or at worst, kill her. (The other interpretation, less likely in my mind, she was genuinely gathering food and his paranoid caused him to follow her outside)

This is getting into spoilers, but the protagonist tries to purchase a gift for one of the characters, only to find that they have tricked him and skipped town. It is a very sad scene, and I found it emotional.

Multiple times, too many to break down. Especially if you interpret “leaving” as dying,
More than once a person storms or runs away from the character, then there’s a death. So that’s a double-whammy.
