Something has happened to The Hero. A shocking revelation, new information brought to light, revealing their best friend is a traitor or that nothing they did changed anything or maybe they can finally see the world the way it is. Or perhaps it's something even simpler, perhaps they just simply lose their idealism and plunge into contemplation of existential meaninglessness. Or maybe they're just feeling alone and unloved in the world. They don't go into a Heroic BSoD, they just simply stand there, as a crowd of people moves around them (sometimes in fast-forward, even further isolating them). They're simply alone in a crowd. Sometimes known as "calm in a chaotic world" if the crowd moves in fast-forward. Compare Heroic BSoD, Freak Out, and Lonely Among People. See also Friendless Background. Contrast Alone Among the Couples. Sister trope to Symbolic Distance, where distance is employed to represent emotional separation or yearning. It is almost always used to achieve this trope. If you are looking for the webcomic by Thomas D. Szewc, go here. |

The day after Mami's death in Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Madoka feels like she's in a foreign country, surrounded by strangers. Sayaka agrees and explains that it's because no one else knows what happened. The visual version of the trope is used a few times, such as at Sayaka's funeral. | |

Referenced, though not verbatim, in BoJack Horseman when Sarah Lynn, an extremely popular singer and ex-child actor at the time, tells BoJack that everyone just wants to be her 'friend' for her fame. She refers to him as her only genuine friend left... up until he reveals he's there in an attempt to get her on his new TV show, leaving her in a completely new level of isolation amongst a crowd. | |

In Titanic (1997), right before Rose attempts suicide, she's sitting at the table in the lobby, narrating, but her body doesn't move. This has less to do with a shocking revelation, and more to do with her feeling that if she screamed, no one would hear, or even care. | |

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha: The new manga of The Movie explores this. The titular character is loved, has a family, has friends; she smiles for all of them ...but something's ...wrong. In the first season, Yuuno talks about how he grew up without parents, being raised communally by his clan. In the drama CDs, he mentions the Scyra family tent, which was often full of a lively, bustling crowd of people, and how comforting he finds such an atmosphere. He tells Nanoha that he's always been alone in the crowd, but he appreciates what they did for him, and he's happy to bear the name "Scrya". |

Asides from the baker, who dismisses her when Belle starts talking about books, her time in the bookshop, and Gaston's harassment, she spends the rest of her stroll in the village on her own with the villagers sneering at her behind her back. A woman goes as far as stopping her laundry and going away because Belle is singing to a sheep in the same fountain the woman was doing her work. | |

Happens again in "My TCW", J.D. wanders despondently down a hallway surrounded by busy hospital staff as he narrates how it's important to hold on to the relationships you have and laments how awful it feels to be alone - and providing the page quote. | |

91 Days: In part of the opening credits sequence, Avilio is walking down the sidewalk as crowds of people pass him in fast-forward, and a short distance away he sees his slain parents and little brother walking together at normal speed as if they were still alive. This isolation in a crowd represents how he is alienated from society and unable to move on with his life since the night when they were murdered, while the memories that continue to haunt him spur his quest for vengeance. | |

In The Return, one of the last books in the Animorphs series, Rachel at one point walks through the hallway of her school - a setting that has not been featured in several books as the war has taken an increasingly grim turn - and reflects that she no longer feels like she belongs there at all and can't even pretend to anymore. Sure enough, she has a breakdown in class a chapter later and flees the school. This is the last time school is visited, as in the next book the Animorphs all become fugitives and have to go into hiding. | |

Andrew Stanton stated that in WALL•E, a major theme was the contrast between WALL•E's isolation in the first part of the film to the presence of this trope on board the Axiom. | |

In the first episode of Angelic Layer, Misaki watches a match between two "Angels", although she didn't know what they were at that time. When it looked like the smaller of the competitors (Athena) was about to lose, she undergoes this state, thinking how people of her own stature could never go far, but breaks from it when Athena wins the battle. | |

Pony POV Series: Trixie's Inferiority Superiority Complex comes from feeling like she's average at every field of magic and unable to stand out from her six siblings, including four sisters who look exactly like her. When Discord curses her, he makes her perceive that nopony at all notices that she exists. She cries out for someone to listen to her and sees all of them ignoring her, while in reality several ponies are surrounding her and asking what's wrong, but she can't respond to any of them. | |

Played with in the opening to the first Hell Girl season. Near the end of it, we see a greyed-out, bustling crowd, with the Hell Girl herself in the middle of the crush, staring in full color at the camera. Possibly used in this case to highlight that Ai is not part of this world and as such literally alone in the crowd. | |

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, during the Sanity Slippage Song "Epiphany". He's just lost the chance to slit the throat of the man who ruined his life and is running through the streets in a rage, singing and brandishing his straight razors. Nobody takes any notice, and it's eventually revealed to be an Imagine Spot, more relevant to how he feels than to the actual state of reality. | |

A truly heartbreaking version happens in the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic episode "The Return Of Harmony Part 2". Discord has broken Twilight completely and sent her over the Despair Event Horizon by turning her friends against her by breaking and brainwashing them. He then one-ups this by driving all of Equestria insane except Twilight. We see her walking dejectedly through town, surrounded by the citizens of Ponyville she's spent the entire last season with, but unable to turn to a single one for help because of Discord's actions, not even her True Companions. | |

The two of them stand there for some time, with the Doctor explaining how he's now the Last of His Kind. They don't join the flow of the crowd until Rose decides they need to get some chips. "Midnight" uses this at the end, when the Doctor is sitting in the aisle of the bus after the trouble has passed. |

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power: Zigzagged with Entrapta during Princess Prom. Due to her lack of social abilities (including coming to the party in her overalls), she spends most of the time alone. The only ones to interact with her on their own will are Adora (to distract Glimmer from her fear of losing Bow's friendship) and Catra (to make Adora jealous). It's hinted in Season 5 that, after being rescued from Beast Island, the princesses avoided her because of her actions in the Horde; even after Entrapta's atonement by helping Adora's gang in the space, she keeps most of her time alone among the rebels, interacting only with Wrong Hordak, Bow and, occasionally, with Swift Wind, which makes her reunion to Hordak even more touching: | |

Mireille in Noir quotes Ernest Hemingway after a done job, which earns her a confused reaction from Kirika. While she says she simply quoted Hemingway and doesn't exactly feel that way, it does fit the whole situation the two are in - no parents, no other relatives, and being Professional Killers, they can't have real relationships with anyone else, either. | |
