Awful Truth	comment	Being honest and forthright is not always a good thing. Some truths are so frustrating and traumatizing that it is treated as something to keep from becoming general knowledge, as they are deemed a serious threat to the mental stability of certain characters or would result in rioting in the streets. That, or this is a mocking cry by the jaded Anti-Hero to illustrate his belief that the main hero is too naive to be trusted with the truth. In short, when something seems Too Good to Be True, this is what the actual truth will probably turn out to be. This is a supertrope to a number of other concepts: Figure It Out Yourself: Learning about it is better than being told directly. Forbidden Fruit: The desire for it is greater because it is withheld. Heel Realization: Discovering you have been the villain of the story. Honesty Aesop: Revealing the truth is a valuable lesson. Lying to Protect Your Feelings: Letting someone believe a lie so they don't feel bad. Schmuck Bait: The desire for knowledge is used as a prank. These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know: Mortal beings cannot process this information. Tomato in the Mirror: Personal revelations change your entire personal identity and worldview. You Are Not Ready: Declaring emotional or physical maturity is needed before acquiring this knowledge. You Didn't Ask: The information was not a secret but clarity was not offered. You Do NOT Want To Know: It's preferable to not be given this knowledge for private/personal/disgusting reasons. If it's not so much hidden as an unyielding fact of life, see tropes such as Humans Are Bastards, Crapsack World or its real life counterparts Hobbes Was Right and Realpolitik, video games with branching plots whose best and/or canon ending is bittersweet or some types of You Are Too Late or Downer Ending. Despite the similar names, this has nothing to do with the movie The Awful Truth.

Awful Truth / int_102b7173	comment	In inFAMOUS, Cole gradually grows to hate the Big Bad, Kessler, as Kessler is both responsible for the event that gave Cole superpowers at the cost of thousands of innocent lives, and eventually kills Cole's girlfriend, all the while spouting rhetoric about how Cole needs to learn what an awful place the world really is instead of pretending it's any better, never offering even a cursory explanation for why he's doing any of it. In the end, just before Kessler dies from wounds Cole inflicts, Kessler reveals via telepathy that he's Cole himself from a Bad Future that exists because he refused to do anything about it when he had the chance, come back in time to traumatize himself so that he'll be prepared to make better choices when those hard decisions come. Turning the evil ending into a case of Gone Horribly Right.

Awful Truth / int_12ce6b61	comment	GreedFall: The Congregation of Merchants and the Nauts secretly discovered Teer Fradee 200 years prior to the game's events, and the aristocracy of the Congregation became tyrants who ruled with an iron fist until they were all decimated and driven off by the resident eldritch god of the island. The surviving Congregation citizens paid the Nauts to pretend they never discovered Teer Fradee. Except, the Nauts never stopped exploiting the island for slaves to sell to the mainland Congregation - which is where De Sardet came from. To twist the knife further, the Malichor has nothing to do with Teer Fradee; it is actually a result of the uncontrolled pollution caused by reckless industrialization on the mainland, and has little if anything to do with Teer Fradee itself, except that maybe the Eldritch god of the island may have helped it along a little in revenge for the Congregation's pillaging.

Awful Truth / int_1484a16e	comment	In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, when Harry asks Dumbledore why Voldemort wanted to kill him in the first place, Dumbledore's response is more or less that Harry is not yet ready to hear the Awful Truth, but at least makes clear that he has the intentions to tell him some day. Intentions being the key word here, as Dumbledore puts this off until the fifth book and only tells Harry then because Dumbledore's keeping the truth from Harry backfired rather badly, leading to Sirius's death. Dumbledore, to his credit, does at least acknowledge that this was pretty dumb. This isn't the only instance, but probably the most significant as much of the plot revolves around adults trying to protect Harry from the awful truth.

The second is the reveal that the Amazons regularly go on sex raids on travelling boats where they mate with men and then kill them afterwards. The Amazons who get pregnant from this give up their sons to be raised as slaves in Hephaestus's workshop.

This is apparent in Chapter 4 where Gonta crossed the Despair Event Horizon by learning the truth of the outside world and the students didn't want to believe that Gonta was the culprit of that case. Chapter 6 pushes Shuichi to the Despair Event Horizon when he finds out that everything they've gone through was just a reality show that's well into its 53rd season.

Awful Truth / int_17daf46d	comment	In the episode of From the Earth to the Moon that covered Apollo 12, "That's All There Is", after a lightning strike caused havoc during the launch, the flight controllers went over all the systems. Every system was tested, and came out fine—except one of the most important ones: the parachutes. They realized that they had no way of knowing whether or not the pyrotechnics that would deploy the parachutes for splashdown at the end of the mission were disabled by the lightning strike. They ultimately decided to proceed with the mission—and, also, not tell the crew. The given reason was because if the parachutes didn't work, then the crew would be dead whether or not they proceeded with the mission. For the episode, however, the drama of the moment was slightly muted, as splashdown was one of the first scenes of the episode, so the audience already knew they would survive at that point.

He's briefly out of words when that "demon" is actually his half-demon father Vergil. After revealing this, Dante specifically points out that he wanted to keep it a secret so that Nero won't have to kill his old man. It turns out even Trish and Lady knew it as well, and Lady also tries to convince Nero that killing your father isn't something you can recover from (and she would know, having done this to Arkham back in 3). Fortunately, Nero thinks of an alternative option — stop the fight between Dante and Vergil so that neither of them have to die.

Awful Truth / int_1aacbbc9	comment	In Dragon Age, the Grey Wardens are all doomed to become Ghouls. Their variation of the Taint just takes a lot longer to change them than the normal version. The reason Grey Wardens are the only ones who can slay the Archdemons and end Blights? An Archdemon can resurrect itself by transferring its soul to the nearest Tainted being, which is normally a soulless Darkspawn. If that being happens to be a Warden instead, the soul of the Warden and the Archdemon will destroy each other. The Wardens don't tell anyone these secrets until after they join the order, since no one in their right mind would join them if they knew. Something similar happens with the origin of golems. It's not just that they are the souls of dwarves encased in molten lyrium while still alive, although that's bad enough; it's that the control rods only came about when Caridin's King was having innocents conscripted and forged into golems. At least the golem you can get as a DLC party member was a volunteer. Dragon Age: Inquisition reveals several awful truths: A recurring story is how the original elven homeland was destroyed by the Tevinter Imperium. It was not. A survivor of that time reveals that the elves destroyed themselves in a civil war. Tevinter just enslaved the survivors out of opportunism. The vallaslin? The markings Dalish elves wear as a mark of adulthood? Arlathan nobles put them on their slaves as tribute to the nobles' patron gods. Last, the elves say that their gods, including Mythal, were imprisoned by Fen'Harel, the Dread Wolf. The truth is that Mythal and Fen'Harel were and remain good friends. Mythal was betrayed and murdered by someone else and her remains possessed Flemeth, who Mythal saw as a kindred spirit. Trespasser reveals that their "gods" were just a bunch of very powerful mages who let that power go to their heads and that they were the ones who killed Mythal because she tried to get them to stop abusing their power. Fen'Harel only sealed them away to stop the madness, and in the process stripped the entire elven race of their magic. A major cause of the Mage-Templar War was Templars abusing mages, and their usage of the Rite of Tranquility (which turns mages into emotionless husks unable to use magic) fueling the conflict. The Inquisitor and Cassandra later learn that the original Inquisition created the Rite and their successors, the Seekers of Truth, knew how to cure it for centuries but kept it secret all this time. Given that one of the game's major themes is faith, most, if not all core members of the Inquisition faced this trope. Not all of them take the revelations lightly without breaking down as reality forces them to reassess their views.

Awful Truth / int_25f6f1a0	comment	Umineko: When They Cry: Hey, Ange-chan? You know how you're pretty sure that your Ax-Crazy aunt killed your beloved parents and brother? Well, it turns out that your aunt just sorta went along with it because she didn't want you to find out that your parents were the Ax-Crazy murderers who killed everyone, and your aunt only killed your parents in what was more or less self-defense. Oh, and they never cared about you. Hope that cheers you up a little! Battler, meanwhile, learns that Asumu wasn't his biological mother - his stepmother Kyrie was, and his father switched Battler with Asumu's stillborn baby to avoid any issues from his first son being born to a mistress. This means that Battler cutting ties with them for years in protest of Rudolf marrying Kyrie so soon after Asumu's death, which was also a major contributor to the murders, was All for Nothing. Sayo Yasuda gets it even worse. Good news: she isn't really some nobody orphan, but the heir to the Ushiromiya gold! ...because her father, Kinzo, raped her mother, who was his daughter. This also means that she's related to all three of her love interests. And she can't even have children like she always dreamed about, because the injuries she suffered as a baby made her incapable of doing so. Hardly surprising that her reaction is to plan a mass murder-suicide of the entire family.

Awful Truth / int_28ff908f	comment	In The Bikini Bottom Horror, we learn that the Krabby Patty Secret Formula includes starfish meat. Mr. Krabs stole a detached limb from Patrick, and after it regenerated into a new starfish, he kept it prisoner and harvested its regenerating flesh. This causes Patrick's murderous rampage when he eats an undercooked patty, acquiring his clone's memories in the process. After everything that happens in the comic, it turns out there is another dark truth: Spongebob is the true mastermind behind everything. He deliberately undercooked one of the Krabby Patties in order to intentionally provoke Patrick, killing off a substantial chunk of Bikini Bottom's population in order to save the day and pretend to be the conquering hero. All so he could take over Bikini Bottom unchallenged as a restauranteer. The sheer evil behind her old friend's actions and her inability to stop him lest he start sending his self-clones after innocent civilians is the Last Straw for Sandy, who ends up leaving Bikini Bottom forever, leaving Squidward unaware of Spongebob's true nature and saddened by her farewell.

The Huntsmen Academies are led by the enigmatic Professor Ozpin, who also runs a secret cabal dedicated to opposing the true enemy: the secret queen of the Grimm, Salem. However, even they don't know the full truth until Ruby Rose discovers that learning it is more than the heroes can bear. Salem was punished to never die for pursuing her lover's resurrection and turning humanity against the gods when they refused; they finally resurrect him to guide humanity to redemption; an impossible task while Salem seeks the world's destruction. Ozpin hides the fact he's fighting a war he cannot win against an enemy he cannot kill to protect people from despair, but he is still left shattered by the way the heroes turn on him. They only reconcile once Ozpin's recovered enough to apologise and the heroes have experienced his burden long enough to understand his plight.

Awful Truth / int_39fe00f1	comment	Dragon Age: Inquisition reveals several awful truths: A recurring story is how the original elven homeland was destroyed by the Tevinter Imperium. It was not. A survivor of that time reveals that the elves destroyed themselves in a civil war. Tevinter just enslaved the survivors out of opportunism. The vallaslin? The markings Dalish elves wear as a mark of adulthood? Arlathan nobles put them on their slaves as tribute to the nobles' patron gods. Last, the elves say that their gods, including Mythal, were imprisoned by Fen'Harel, the Dread Wolf. The truth is that Mythal and Fen'Harel were and remain good friends. Mythal was betrayed and murdered by someone else and her remains possessed Flemeth, who Mythal saw as a kindred spirit. Trespasser reveals that their "gods" were just a bunch of very powerful mages who let that power go to their heads and that they were the ones who killed Mythal because she tried to get them to stop abusing their power. Fen'Harel only sealed them away to stop the madness, and in the process stripped the entire elven race of their magic. A major cause of the Mage-Templar War was Templars abusing mages, and their usage of the Rite of Tranquility (which turns mages into emotionless husks unable to use magic) fueling the conflict. The Inquisitor and Cassandra later learn that the original Inquisition created the Rite and their successors, the Seekers of Truth, knew how to cure it for centuries but kept it secret all this time. Given that one of the game's major themes is faith, most, if not all core members of the Inquisition faced this trope. Not all of them take the revelations lightly without breaking down as reality forces them to reassess their views.

Awful Truth / int_3b08dfc9	comment	A recurring theme in Pillars of Eternity: An early quest has an expectant mother hiring you to go to a midwife to obtain a potion that will prevent her child from being hollowborn and her consequently being banished from Gilded Vale. When you get to the midwife, she points out that the potion does absolutely nothing. Nothing can prevent a child from being hollowborn, but she argues that as long as it makes the mother feel better then it's worth it. You have to choose whether the mother gets the potion or learns from you that it's all up to luck. Another quest has you searching for a missing boy, only you find out that he was murdered by pirates after he intervened during their attempted rape of a prostitute, and his body was dumped into the canal. You can inform her of Derrin's fate (she'll be crushed, but the word of his last act of heroism will soften the blow a bit), or you can lie and say the boy left on a ship for a new life elsewhere. In either case, you can then track down the killer and avenge his death. The villain of the whole game has dedicated his entire life and all his previous reincarnations, to (violently) silencing the truth about the gods; they are artificial intelligences powered by mortal souls, and before they existed, their creators discovered that the original gods were dead, gone, or just plain never existed. He believes that revealing the truth will plunge the world into endless war. You can be the judge from the games Multiple Endings whether he is right or not.

Awful Truth / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, when Harry asks Dumbledore why Voldemort wanted to kill him in the first place, Dumbledore's response is more or less that Harry is not yet ready to hear the Awful Truth, but at least makes clear that he has the intentions to tell him some day. Intentions being the key word here, as Dumbledore puts this off until the fifth book and only tells Harry then because Dumbledore's keeping the truth from Harry backfired rather badly, leading to Sirius's death. Dumbledore, to his credit, does at least acknowledge that this was pretty dumb. This isn't the only instance, but probably the most significant as much of the plot revolves around adults trying to protect Harry from the awful truth. This also plays a rather large role in the third book. First with Cornelius Fudge's insistence that no one tell Harry that Sirius Black is out to get them because it might scare him. Proving that not all adults are complete idiots, Mr. Weasley planned on telling Harry anyway, telling Harry to be careful and warns him not to go looking for Black. But he also falls into this trope by refusing to answer when Harry asks why would he be stupid enough to looking for someone who wants to kill him. Harry finds out anyway, but proves Mr. Weasley's fears correct because the Awful Truth in fact makes him want to kill Black. However, in this case, the Awful Truth isn't even the Truth at all because Peter Pettigrew, not Sirius Black is responsible for his parents deaths and Sirius escaped Azkaban to kill Peter Pettigrew, not Harry. The Awful Truth is in fact so awful that Dumbledore only reveals it in fragments; first, at the end of Order Of The Phoenix, he tells 15-year old Harry he'll have to kill Voldemort personally. Then, in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, he tells Harry that Voldemort is immortal unless five random objects, each anywhere in the world, are destroyed. Finally, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry learns that he, himself, is actually the sixth object (yep, there is one bonus) that need to be destroyed. In other words, he has to let Voldemort kill him, or Voldemort will remain invincible. He gets better, but as he didn't know that, it was still pretty Awful. This was all necessary for Dumbledore's plan to work. In the first place, he wasn't even sure that Harry would survive, though he had guessed Harry might due to events in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and as he himself has said, his guesses are usually right. But even if he had hard evidence that Harry would be able to survive, he couldn't have told him, because if Harry didn't think he was going to die, how could he sacrifice himself for everyone in the castle? So in this case, it was more revealing the Awful Truth while hiding the Wonderful Truth that accompanied it.

Turns out that Baker accidentally caused that by ordering Leggett to keep the true nature of Allen's and Garnett's deaths a secret, for fear of reprisals from the rest of the squad. Said secret is that Leggett indirectly caused their deaths by starting a loud argument and brawl with them, the noise of which attracted a German squad. However, as a result, Leggett was alienated by the rest of the squad, as his refusal to speak of the incident made them believe he was a coward who had hidden and allowed Allen and Garnett to die,*In reality, he had not hidden, but he was so caught off-guard by the attack that by the time he regained his senses, he was the only one left standing. which was only compounded by Leggett's own guilt over the incident. The burden of keeping the secret, coupled with the inability to talk to anyone about his side of the story, was too much for the poor guy, which is why he charged the tank in the first place.

Since the protagonists' cargo hold is full of weapons and their resident Nice Guy One discovered a sun pendant in his quarters that matches what Hrothgar's people are supposed to have, he assumes he and his crewmates are the promised saviors. Meanwhile, the ship's android has been attempting to recover the wiped databanks onboard: discovering that except for Mysterious Waif Five, the crew are all wanted murderers and Psychos for Hire guilty of everything from kidnapping and piracy to terrorism, there are no aliens, and the Raza is the name of their ship.

Awful Truth / int_41b0198a	comment	In The Dresden Files, this is played in several different ways. First, anytime Harry has to let people in on the masquerade, he tells them straight up that they're probably never going to sleep well again. When Harry confronts his mentor, Ebenezar, and Ebenezar tells Harry that he's the Blackstaff. He sees it as a hypocrisy that the man who took him in and taught him about what it means to truly respect and live by the Laws of Magic is the personal assassin of the White Council and has free range to break the Laws when he sees fit. Used with Murphy, as that's what led to his realization that some times people need to be told the truth. For the first three books, she's wary of him because he's so ambiguous all the time and nearly gets herself killed on a number of occasions â€” and she's always almost-arresting Harry. He finally explains everything to her in Summer Knight, which leads to a much closer friendship and a couple levels of badass on Murphy's part. In Changes Harry receives a very harsh truth when he goes to Queen Mab, Fae Queen of the Winter Court. He needs her aid and support on his quest to save his kidnapped daughter who he just learned existed not a few days ago. Her price is for Harry to kill a man who betrayed her and in turn, tormented him to the point of driving the murderous rapist to insanity, and to take his place as Winter Knight and now lays defenseless on a stretcher. When Harry hesitates at this request, Mab shows him a live image of the one he needs to save in horrific conditions. She swears on her name and power this image is the truth and actual current condition of the person, and, as she Cannot Tell a Lie, Harry believes her. He then wonders if this isn't some false manipulation, as it is the complete truth, then it could be enlightenment.

Awful Truth / int_42ffb88e	comment	Everything that's [REDACTED] or [DATA EXPUNGED] on the SCP Foundation is to prevent the general public from learning what they keep locked up. Most of the time, it's for the best (see Procedure 110-Montauk). One notable example. It is implied by some hidden messages that the reason why the Foundation suddenly decided that humanity needed to be destroyed in the timeline SCP-5000 came from is that they discovered that the minds of all of humanity are infected with something terrible. And that terrible thing is the reason humanity has emotions in the first place. Humanity in its natural state are cold, stoic, remorseless husks. Another SCP is the truth about what happens when you die. There is no heaven or hell. When you die, your soul remains trapped in your corpse forever, feeling nothing but agonizing pain as you rot away. Yet another SCP, a miracle pill that can cure any disease, has a note that the pills have to be kept away from corpses at all costs, implying that they have some sort of horrific effect on the dead. They actually simply revive them, healthy and with no side effects. The problem is that the revived know what happens when you die - namely, nothing. No heaven, no Hell, and unlike the above SCP, no eternal awareness being trapped in your own corpse, you simply cease to exist. The confirmation that there's no afterlife has driven so many staff members insane from how meaningless life is that the SCP Foundation had to keep the truth secret.

In fact, they want the Apocalypse to happen so that they can finally destroy Lucifer once and for all (which will also lead to the deaths of billions of innocent people who get caught in the crossfire, but it's not like they really give a damn about that part).

Then her ex-boyfriend Oliver is rescued and voices his doubts about Laurel's "departure" to him. Quentin initially dismisses his concerns, but the thought doesn't leave his mind, so he does some investigating himself with his old partner. A few hours later, it becomes clear to him that the daughter he's been verbally abusing didn't abandon him, but was actually kidnapped and has been missing for the past three years. What really happened to Laurel (namely, that she was traded to the League of Assassins by her own mother for Sara's freedom) is this to Oliver, and later to Thea, Tommy, and Moira. It's so bad that no one, not even Laurel herself, has any plans to tell the full truth to Quentin after she's freed, because they know that the guilt will kill him.

The revelation shocks even Inuyasha and his companions, who think Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha's father has been far too cruel. Sesshoumaru takes the news badly, concluding it's proof he was the outcast son and that his father was training Inuyasha to kill him. Tenseiga is merely a cast-off piece of Tessaiga, separated from Tessaiga so that Sesshoumaru could master the Meidou Zangetsuha technique and then transfer it back to Tessaiga, meaning that the attack form he earned due to his compassion for Kagura's death isn't his to keep - it's destined for Inuyasha's use. Sesshoumaru does eventually calm down enough to realise his father's true intention was for him to guide Inuyasha not be killed by him. He therefore decides to sacrifice his claim to both swords forever as part of a Hidden Purpose Test to see if Inuyasha is strong enough to handle the technique. Once he sacrifices his dependence on the two swords, Sesshoumaru is finally able to achieve the level of wisdom and compassion required to unlock the true power his father knew he possessed and finally obtain a sword that is truly his own.

Then it's revealed by EVA that The Boss only defected to gain Volgin's trust, steal the Philosopher's legacy, and bring the whole can of bank worms back to America. The nukes were a bargaining chip to gain Volgin's trust, but "nobody could have predicted" that Volgin would fire a Davy Crockett on his own base. Because she was the main suspect of Volgin's insanity, to prevent World War III, The Boss had to die — by the hand of her best student. She knew it, and willingly went along with it. Then, in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, it's revealed that Operation Snake Eater was just one of many ploys to get The Boss out of the equation, since they (the CIA) feared her charisma and the powerful connections/fame she made across all nations. Said ploys include denying her support while spying on Russian space-faring development, sending her into space with faulty equipment (and losing the space race in the process), denying her support during the Pig Bay mission, forcing her and The Sorrow (her husband) to fight each other to the death... Did we mention this is all narrated by a psychotic jailbait who threatens to nuke the east coast of the United States just so Big Boss will always be the slave of the Patriots? No wonder Big Boss goes off the deep end. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots pulls a complicated Awful Truth on the protagonist. Solid Snake has started to show indications of accelerated aging; by the time the game starts, he's going on his early 40s, and looks older than his parents (who should be over 80 by then). Otacon explains that it seems like a classic case of Werner's Syndrome, except the tests for the condition say that Snake doesn't have it. They speculate that it's because Snake isn't "normal," meaning that there must have been some fluke in the cloning process that created him, possibly exacerbated by the nanomachine-based artificial virus he was injected with to assassinate certain people by coming into contact with them. In fact, his brother Liquid even suggested as much, saying that the problem arises from the genetic sample that created them being taken when Big Boss was old himself, in his 50s. When Snake finally finds someone who can figure out what's going on, the truth is much worse than any of the speculation: the premature aging is natural, it's an intentional alteration made during the cloning process to give him an expiration date, which means there is no way to fix it and he will die of old age within six months, probably before turning 42. Worse, the nano-virus in his blood is being damaged by Snake's aging, and unless he kills himself long before he dies "naturally," the virus will lose its ability to differentiate between the people it was coded to kill and the people it was not, meaning Snake will cause an epidemic. The second problem is solved so Snake doesn't have to kill himself to stop the epidemic, but the first problem is most assuredly not, and the only reason we don't watch Snake die on-screen is because the ending fades to black instead of fast-forwarding six months.

Once upon a time, a child climbed Mount Ebott and fell through the barrier between the human world and the underworld. They were rescued by the king's son, Asriel, and happily adopted by his family. One day the child fell sick and, after begging to see the flowers of their village one last time, died, and Asriel in his grief absorbed the child's soul. He broke through the barrier and brought the child's body to the village, but the villagers attacked him out of fear. Asriel refused to fight back and, mortally wounded, returned to the underworld where he too collapsed and died. From then on the king vowed that all humans who fell through the barrier were to be killed, and promised to destroy the barrier once and for all with seven human souls. The truth, which the player/Frisk discovers in the True Laboratory, is even worse: the entire thing was a massive Thanatos Gambit by the Fallen Child. They deliberately killed themselves by eating buttercup flowers and persuaded Asriel to absorb their soul, so that he could go to the surface with the Fallen Child's body and provoke a war with the humans. It's not clear whether the Fallen Child only wanted six souls to break the barrier or wanted humanity wiped out entirely, but Asriel himself says the Fallen Child was "not the nicest person".

Anderton goes to see Dr. Iris Hineman, one of the people who helped develop the Precrime program and she reveals to him that the precogs are the sole survivors of experiments to test children of neuroin addicts for precognitive abilities. Hineman also reveals that the precogs sometimes see different visions from each other, called a "minority report". These discrepancies are reviewed and purged from the official record, as group precognition agreement is the foundation of the Precrime bylaws. In other words, there is a good chance that some of the people Precrime has put away are potentially innocent. This knowledge greatly distresses Anderton who up until he was accused of murder was a staunch supporter of Precrime. The most damning revelation is the lengths which Precrime founder Lamar Burgess went to in order to validate and maintain the Precrime system. When Anne Lively, the mother of one of the precogs, decided that she wanted her daughter back, Burgess used a weakness in the precogs' visions and murdered her, while making it look like she had in fact been saved from an earlier murder attempt. When Anderton began looking into Anne's disappearance, Burgess used the Precrime system to frame him for murder, even going as far as making Anderton think his supposed predestined victim had killed Anderton's son. With his crimes exposed and Precrime revealed to be less than perfect, Burgess kills himself to avoid being incarcerated and living to see all he worked for destroyed, and the Precrime system is shut down.

Their primal fear of fire, the Martian Kryptonite Factor, is a direct result of this tampering.

Awful Truth / int_631805af	comment	Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots pulls a complicated Awful Truth on the protagonist. Solid Snake has started to show indications of accelerated aging; by the time the game starts, he's going on his early 40s, and looks older than his parents (who should be over 80 by then). Otacon explains that it seems like a classic case of Werner's Syndrome, except the tests for the condition say that Snake doesn't have it. They speculate that it's because Snake isn't "normal," meaning that there must have been some fluke in the cloning process that created him, possibly exacerbated by the nanomachine-based artificial virus he was injected with to assassinate certain people by coming into contact with them. In fact, his brother Liquid even suggested as much, saying that the problem arises from the genetic sample that created them being taken when Big Boss was old himself, in his 50s. When Snake finally finds someone who can figure out what's going on, the truth is much worse than any of the speculation: the premature aging is natural, it's an intentional alteration made during the cloning process to give him an expiration date, which means there is no way to fix it and he will die of old age within six months, probably before turning 42. Worse, the nano-virus in his blood is being damaged by Snake's aging, and unless he kills himself long before he dies "naturally," the virus will lose its ability to differentiate between the people it was coded to kill and the people it was not, meaning Snake will cause an epidemic. The second problem is solved so Snake doesn't have to kill himself to stop the epidemic, but the first problem is most assuredly not, and the only reason we don't watch Snake die on-screen is because the ending fades to black instead of fast-forwarding six months.

Worse yet, given his father's statement in Silent Hill 4 (James didn't return from Silent Hill), it seems that the ending where James kills himself may be the true ending, though given that the law may be less than forgiving for the murder he committed, he may simply have gone into hiding, possibly with his new foster daughter.

When he does, he finds out why it's been kept hidden from society for sixty years. He was reluctant to even tell Scully, as the Truth is aliens are invading the world in 2012 to colonize it, and there is nothing that can be done to stop it. Subverted earlier with the truth about his sister, Samantha. The quest to find his sister was the reason Mulder got started on the X-Files, and a when not trying to find out The Truth, he is trying to find out what happened to her. After an extremely confusing plotline, we find out Samantha died in her early teens after years of medical experimentation. It is classified as an awful truth, but Mulder is simply satisfied to finally know what happened to her. The episode is aptly named "Closure", and when Scully asks him at the end of the episode how he is dealing with it, he replies "I'm free."

In the manga, her stepmother Natsue unleashes another one on Himeno: Himeno's late mother died because her frail body couldn't handle the strain of pregnancy and childbirth.

Yes, he had sex with his half-brother's mom. Fortunately, SPHINX is right next door with the mindwipe machine! Hank cheats on it a bit by leaving himself a message saying he had sex, but leave out the Dermott's mom part. And makes a Total Recall joke at his own expense. The identity of Hank and Dean's mom is strongly implied to be this. Hank and Dean themselves stumble into a lab full of clone-slugs of themselves suspended in vats and drop into a catatonic blackout. Their dad manages to convince them they saw their Christmas presents of an army of robot slaves. In the prequel to Season 5, Dean learns the truth and has a crisis over it. Triana has a portal to an extradimensional realm in her bedroom closet, and gets repeatedly mindwiped by her father every time she discovers it.

Awful Truth / int_701f0ece	comment	In Berserk, the Awful Truth of the setting is revealed in the 83rd chapter that was never reprinted because the author thought it gave away too much of the plot: the worst part isn't that God Is Evil, nor is it that You Can't Fight Fate. The Awful Truth is that humanity wouldn't have it any other way. They need an evil "god" to dictate their lives because the alternative is worse: that their suffering is meaningless and they have no one to blame for it but themselves. They needed it so badly that they subconsciously willed it into existence. Theresia, the daughter of the Count, was told that seven years ago that her mother was taken hostage by heretics and killed by them as a human sacrifice when her father refused their demands. This was when her father began to change, and started persecuting his people with no regard for guilt or innocence. The first awful truth comes when she sees her father's true form as an Apostle which he had hidden from her for all those years, which in itself might have been enough to break her. The worst is yet to come, however, as Theresia finds out the truth of what happened to her mother: she betrayed her husband the Count by participating in pagan orgies, and in order to escape from his despair he sacrificed her to the Godhand in exchange for becoming a monster who would never feel pain or grief.

The death they bring and the atrocities they commit is something they believe necessary for organic life to exist at all. The series' original writer had laid foreshadowing for an entirely different awful truth to be revealed in the third: that the mass-effect is effectively poisonous to the galaxy and causes the stars of populated systems to die long before their time. The Reaper Cycle in this version is a stop-gap measure, slowing the effect to a semi-controlled crawl until a solution could be found.

Most notably: the monsters they're fighting are corrupted Gems, the other Gems they're likely to encounter are generally going to be villains, and the reason the Crystal Gems are on Earth is because they led a rebellion against the Homeworld Gems in order to prevent them from destroying the Earth to make more of their kind. The Crystal Gems get their own Awful Truth in Season 3: their fellow Gem Bismuth had been bubbled by Rose Quartz for advocating shattering Gems to the point that she built a weapon for it. Which eventually leads to the Awful Truth that breaks Steven: Rose Quartz had shattered a Gem- Pink Diamond. Season 5 reveals yet another Awful Truth that only Pearl knew: Rose did not shatter Pink Diamond. She was Pink Diamond all along. Pink Diamond and Pearl faked her shattering so she could live a new life as Rose Quartz.

When the residents of Vault 32 found this out, they descended headlong into anarchy and bedlam, killing their Overseer before turning on each other and themselves, resulting in the entire Vault being depopulated. Lucy's father, Hank MacLean, was one such Overseer. Vault-Tec also had proprietary information on the secrets of cold fusion, a limitless source of energy, which they kept secret in the hopes of remaining ahead of their competitors. Worse still, to incentivize business partners to invest in Vaults, they conspired to start the Great War, themselves. The wife of the Ghoul was the one who proposed this to begin with.

Also the species that are not suitable to be turned in Reapers, are turned into mindless slaves. We find this out with the Collectors which are actually Protheans. Mass Effect 3: The Reapers exist to ensure that some organic life (the non-space-faring life they skip during each cycle) will always exist somewhere. They were created with the belief that if any society is allowed to continue existing beyond a certain point after discovering interstellar travel, they will eventually create synthetic life, who in turn will eventually turn on their creators and wipe out organic life. The death they bring and the atrocities they commit is something they believe necessary for organic life to exist at all. The series' original writer had laid foreshadowing for an entirely different awful truth to be revealed in the third: that the mass-effect is effectively poisonous to the galaxy and causes the stars of populated systems to die long before their time. The Reaper Cycle in this version is a stop-gap measure, slowing the effect to a semi-controlled crawl until a solution could be found. Mass Effect: Andromeda takes place in another galaxy altogether, but has its own shocking twists. The kett reproduce by turning other races into themselves, while the Angara were artificially made by an unknown intelligence, the prototype corpses laying around.

Zentos was responsible for assassinating the princess, Maizar is plotting to use him for his own purposes, Minagi can't handle her money and went off on her own with little experience as an assassin (which to be fair in the original timeline worked out but only due to her natural talent and a TON of luck which is lampshaded in story as irresponsible), Luctera was deathly ill for a long time with a complicated love life involving a dark elf that resulted in a child to boot, and Kail's master and Seren's mother Lelia worships the universe's Goddess of Darkness. Outside of his circle of friends King Remonas, who Kail though was an good ruler, is revealed to have caused most of the problems the human race faced diplomatically, leading up to the demon invasion.

He also goes to great lengths to hide the truth from Chrono, saying he "doesn't need to know"—but Chrono finds out in the end and takes it rather well.

Simply enough, he goes around the land to visit the shrines and collect the blessings of the Dragons, especially in the growing phenomena that's been happening (giant monsters appearing more commonly, Iskan fever outbreaks, ect.) Two curve-balls come your way though; first is that The Ace Dragon Knight Scias and Innocent Flower Girl Tia are the Big Bads of the story, who framed you for killing the king in the first place. A little later, the Moon Dragon warns you that what he'll reveal if accepting to fight and win, you're not going to like. The fate of Altago is that it always faced a Reset Button whenever the balance of the land was broken. The necessary action to fix all the phenomena is to start anew, which the Iskan Elders are always tasked with. The Dragons select a Dragon Warrior to stop this as a proxy for the life on Altago... but only out of courtesy. It's almost expected/guaranteed that the Dragon Warrior will lose, even with the Dragons' blessings, as it has happened an untold number of times before since Altago was first made.

Anyone who didn't make it up to the point of seeing the threat they pose finds the revelation of the White Walkers and the coming of the Second Long Night an especially terrifying one. Jon Snow's true heritage as Rhaegar and Lyanna's trueborn son is this for Aliser Thorne and Catelyn Stark. For the former, it means he (a diehard Targaryen loyalist) murdered his rightful king. For the latter, it means she treated him like crap his whole life for absolutely no reason, and that he now has the power and status to make her life a living hell in turn. Anytime anyone hears about Arya Stark being one of the Faceless Men. Her mother Catelyn especially finds it infuriating that no one will tell her just why various people keep talking to Arya about pies, and when she finds out, she faints from the horror and mental strain. Chapter 44 reveals that due to Gilly and her sisters killing Craster immediately after they woke up remembering their previous lives, Little Sam will never be conceived. Jon is heartbroken and horrified as he realizes the implications of this and wonders how many more people have suffered this same fate.

Subverted in one instance, when Jake strikes a deal with Crayak to return them to the moment where they chose not to walk through the construction site (where they met Elfangor and learned of the invasion).

Of course, Jasmine runs away in tears.

In his fantasy, this makes all the white people break down and riot.

Awful Truth / int_a44ac02e	comment	Jack: A side story shows a guy in apparently his dream life: a great apartment, nothing to do but play games, and endless, tailor-made sexual partners. Odd things keep happening and he is driven to find out that he's actually in Hell and that, once he knows this, he can never return to the carefree life he had been living and instead will exist for eternity as a obscene, crippled husk. Worse still, he finds out by running into one of the hundreds of other damned souls whose fate he now shares. According to Satan, every single soul eventually starts digging for the truth, even after being outright told they can't turn back once they know it. In the short story "How To Make A Monster", we see how Drip ended up as the Sin of Lust. The final act that dooms him to this role? He's taken back in time and told to kill two people. These people turn out to be Drip's own parents. That's right, the event that doomed Drip to be raised by his grandmother, who sexually abused him for years and would be the catalyst that would send him towards the path of a serial murderer and rapist... was something that he did himself after he'd been condemned to hell. The most terrible part? He didn't realize who he was killing until after he did it.

The story presents a perfect utopian society in the eponymous city where everyone lives in unconditional peace and prosperity. However, the narrator catches onto the reader's expectations, realizing that nobody would accept the idea of a wholly perfect utopia, and decides to retcon the nature of Omelas to introduce a catch and whet their appetite. Thus, the new version of Omelas is Powered by a Forsaken Child, who must be constantly tortured to maintain the city's current state; those who can't live with the truth leave Omelas forever, hence the title.

Awful Truth / int_a7a0b48b	comment	NieR: Automata continues the tradition: The setting's Awful Truth won't be much of a surprise to anyone who played the previous game. The Forever War between the Androids and Machines is entirely pointless; the Machines killed their alien creators long ago, while the humans the Androids are fighting for have been extinct since the time of NieR. The Machines are perpetuating the conflict by intentionally handicapping themselves so they'll never quite win and thus have no purpose to their existence, and the Androids have been keeping up the charade that there's a human colony on the moon by faking broadcasts from a "Council of Humanity" to cheer on the war effort and maintain morale. And to keep themselves from winning the fight, the Androids' current generation of YoRHa units are intended to lose the latest Machine-Android War, and their security systems have been designed with back doors for the Machines to exploit. Both sides' masterminds are using the world itself as a massive experiment to achieve a new level of sapience for themselves. Oh, and the YoRHa Androids were created from components taken from the Machines, making them not that different from their mortal enemies. Learning this causes A2 to defect before the start of the game, and combined with 2B's death, causes 9S to go way off the deep end. On a more personal level, one of the protagonist androids' names isn't 2B, it's 2E, an executioner model designed to kill other YoRHa units... especially Scanner models like fellow protagonist 9S, who tend to be curious and learn things they aren't meant to, like the truth behind the Council of Humanity and YoRHa Command. In fact, 2B has killed 9S several times before the game starts, and been re-assigned as his handler after his memory gets scrubbed. This has been going on for long enough that 9S is aware of the truth on some level.

Awful Truth / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: Experienced Shell-Shocked Veteran Auron from Final Fantasy X intentionally keeps the truth regarding the summoners' journey for the Final Aeon, that it is an ultimately futile effort causing much unneeded sacrifice, from the the rest of the characters. When they finally figure it out on their own and demand an explanation from Auron about this, he simply responds, "Would that have stopped you?'' The less-obvious reasoning behind this masquerade is that Auron simply saying "Hey, killing Sin the traditional way just perpetuates the circle of violence" wouldn't be enough to change anything, and would more likely result in the party accepting the situation. By only revealing certain key bits of information as the journey continued, Auron was able to direct them on the path he tried to take before: the rejection of tradition and an attempt at a new world. Almost Magnificent Bastard levels, when you think about it. Besides, indiscreet revelations of the Awful Truth behind Spira can backfire spectacularly. Look at what happened to Seymour. He actually outright states that Jecht turned into Sin very early on but it doesn't take because he doesn't explain the story behind it. Before this, the entire rest the party takes quite a long time to reveal to Tidus that Yuna's journey as a summoner is intended to end with her death summoning the Final Aeon. Understandably, Tidus doesn't take it well. Tidus in turn doesn't reveal the Awful Truth he learned at the Fayth Cluster to the rest of the party until right before the final battle: that defeating their opponent Yu Yevon will make Tidus disappear, since Tidus is part of Yu Yevon's Summoning of Dream Zanarkand, and killing Yu Yevon will end the Summoning. In Final Fantasy XIV, the nation of Ishgard has been part of the Dragonsong War for over a thousand years, fighting against the wrathful Nidhogg and the Dravanian Horde with all of their being to protect their home and avenge their fallen founder King Thordan. In seeking help from the benign dragon Hraesvelgr, the Ishgardians learn the true origins of the Dragonsong War, uprooting their entire society. That man and dragon had lived together in peace for two hundred years, and that it was King Thordan and his knights who destroyed that peace by killing Hraesvelgr and Nidhogg's sister Ratatoskr in cold blood to steal her magic power for themselves.

Then it's revealed by EVA that The Boss only defected to gain Volgin's trust, steal the Philosopher's legacy, and bring the whole can of bank worms back to America. The nukes were a bargaining chip to gain Volgin's trust, but "nobody could have predicted" that Volgin would fire a Davy Crockett on his own base. Because she was the main suspect of Volgin's insanity, to prevent World War III, The Boss had to die — by the hand of her best student. She knew it, and willingly went along with it. Then, in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, it's revealed that Operation Snake Eater was just one of many ploys to get The Boss out of the equation, since they (the CIA) feared her charisma and the powerful connections/fame she made across all nations. Said ploys include denying her support while spying on Russian space-faring development, sending her into space with faulty equipment (and losing the space race in the process), denying her support during the Pig Bay mission, forcing her and The Sorrow (her husband) to fight each other to the death... Did we mention this is all narrated by a psychotic jailbait who threatens to nuke the east coast of the United States just so Big Boss will always be the slave of the Patriots?

Awful Truth / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: Hoo boy... let's just say that the Imperium has a good reason for its proverb "Ignorance is a virtue." Chaos is the prime example of the Awful Truth. The Inquisition is quite willing to sterilize and relocate anyone who might have learned about it to forced labor camps for the rest of their lives. If this isn't practical, the Inquisition will just kill everyone. This policy can be applied to entire worlds with billions of people on them, and is still considered the humane solution compared to what might happen otherwise. Speaking of Chaos: A very large part of the Imperial Creed (everything about the Emperor being a God) was actually written by Lorgar, the Primarch who wanted to worship the Emperor (who'd made atheism the state religion and was very unhappy to learn of Lorgar's teachings) and was the first to fall to Chaos (when it was pointed out there were other gods all too happy to bestow blessings on their worshippers). Roboute Guilliman was one of the few surviving (sort of: he was trapped in stasis) Primarchs, later revived by the Eldar. Not only did he take some getting used to the craptastic state of the Imperium, he went to Terra to meet the Emperor where he realized the Master of Mankind saw him and his brother Primarchs as nothing more than a tool (as opposed to a son). Despite this, Guilliman does what he can to fight for the Emperor's ideals. The Tau's methods of FTL Travel are much slower than Imperials, leaving them blissfuly unaware of just how small their empire is, while the Imperium has trillions of people on several thousands of planets. They also have no knowledge of the Warp and so believe humans tales of daemons are just madness (to be fair, most Chaos followers are Axe-Crazy) or that daemons are yet another hostile alien to be removed in the name of the Greater Good. Commander Farsight discovered the Ethereals are hiding the Tau's relative weakness from the general population, but instead of rebelling, went into self-imposed exile along with his followers. One formerly Imperial planet was colonized millenia ago but has been forgotten about since, but the inhabitants believe the Emperor will one day return to them and lead them to a new golden age. Chaos troops take sadistic glee in kidnapping them and forcibly showing them just how insignificant and uncared about they are.

Miriam tells him the truth about his heritage, but Moses refuses to believe it. Miriam then sings the lullaby her mother sang to Moses when he was a baby. Moses recognizes it and begins to wonder about his identity. He finds out about the truth about his foster father via a dream he had and the hieroglyphic painting that proves it. His father committed genocide on all the newborn Hebrew boys by having his guards dump them in the crocodile-infested Nile river. Pharaoh Seti comes to Moses and tells him he did it because he feared the Hebrews would rebel against him and were growing too numerous in population.

When he was a child, Dr. Namil brought him to Dolmen so that he could groom the boy into being his successor. Because he wanted the Emperor to accept him into his services, Namil helped Dolmen groom him and reinforced the lie that he was the actual Prince by telling him the Imperial Cross on his arm was proof of his heritage. He raised the boy into following Dolmen's footsteps and being a warrior for the Zaal Empire. After he had grown into an adult, Namil had a change of heart and exposed the truth to everyone. In his pre-recorded video, he admitted there was a way to differentiate clones from their prototypes — clones, when exposed to UV radiation, will experience deterioration in their skin. Kloppen is hit with a UV ray and his skin deteriorates — and then he realizes that his entire life has been a lie.

They are taken to a room where they're shown a video, then allowed to either protest, or forget that their civilization is Powered by a Forsaken Space Whale. Everyone seems to choose the mind wipe, and the few that do protest are fed to the star whale. Queen Elizabeth X has her own version of the vote: continue to control the star whale (and forgetting that she did so) or "abdicate", freeing the star whale and presumably dooming her people. What she didn't realize, but Amy does, is that the star whale volunteered to help them; when Amy gets Liz Ten to abdicate, the star whale starts going faster. Series 12 premiere "Spyfall" ends on The Reveal that the Master discovered a long-buried truth about the history and origin of the Time Lords that horrified him so badly that he wiped the other Time Lords out and razed Gallifrey. This sets up the season's Story Arc, as the Doctor has to find out what exactly it is the Master knows, since he's certainly not explaining. Eventually, the truth comes to light: The regeneration ability that Time Lords possess, long said to be a natural development, is actually artificial; the power was harvested from an entity called the Timeless Child via horrific experiments and spliced into Gallifreyian DNA. Furthermore, the Timeless Child's memory was eventually erased and left as an ordinary Time Lord child. And the current identity of this amnesiac entity? The Doctor.

In the sequel, it's revealed that Maddie is not actually an Artificial Human/Clone of Jean Grey raised as a superpowered Tyke Bomb and created by Sinister. Fury explicitly notes that the Avengers theories about Maddie being a cloned Tyke Bomb are wrong and that the truth is 'much worse': Maddie is in fact Rachel Grey, Jean's twin sister, stolen and replaced the night she was born by Sinister, who was only narrowly thwarted by Strange from taking Jean as well. When she does find out in chapter 14, she's unable to stand, the shock leaving her in a Heroic BSoD which recurs periodically, to one extent or another, throughout the rest of the story.

The reason your sun goes nova at the end of each time loop? That's not the Nomai's fault (despite their best efforts), your sun's at the end of its natural life cycle, and there's nothing you can do to stop it from happening. The reason why all the other stars you can see are also going nova? It's Just Before The Natural End of Time, and the universe as a whole is at the end of its natural life cycle. The Echoes of the Eye DLC adds a secondhand one. The Stranger's inhabitants traveled to your star system, following the signal of the Eye of the Universe, well before the Nomai arrived. They were so dedicated to this voyage that they reduced their homeworld to a Polluted Wasteland in the process of building the ringworld they used to cross star systems. But once they reached their destination, they saw a vision that seemed to show the Eye wiping out the entire universe. The aliens used a satellite to block the Eye's signal so that no one else would reach it and cause that to happen, but were in such despair that their great journey was All for Nothing that they razed their temples to the Eye and retreated into a Lotus-Eater Machine's facsimile of their homeworld until their bodies withered away and died.

When Kormac, your follower who hails from this order, comes across the journals of Jondar, a turncoat Templar who you help him kill when you recruit him, and reads the "key words" that act to restore his memory, the Awful Truth is revealed. It turns out the Order doesn't really give a damn about the guilt or innocence of its initiates, and will gladly pile false sins upon an innocent, as they did to both Kormac and Jondar, if they deem him to be a worthy asset to the Order. And then it all got worse. It turns out that the real reason Adria wants the souls of all seven of the Great Evils put into the Black Soulstone isn't so that she can destroy them all forever in vengeance for what happened to Tristram — it's because Adria pledged herself to Diablo's service long ago and seeks to bring about the rebirth of her master as the Prime Evil, the embodiment of all seven of the Great Evils in one being, in accordance with Diablo's grand plan. And the vessel that she uses to bring about this rebirth? Her own daughter Leah, whose true father turns out to be none other than Diablo himself by way of the Dark Wanderer, a.k.a. the Warrior from the very first game who got himself possessed by Diablo after sticking the fragment of the demon lord's soulstone into his head.

Proving that not all adults are complete idiots, Mr. Weasley planned on telling Harry anyway, telling Harry to be careful and warns him not to go looking for Black. But he also falls into this trope by refusing to answer when Harry asks why would he be stupid enough to looking for someone who wants to kill him. Harry finds out anyway, but proves Mr. Weasley's fears correct because the Awful Truth in fact makes him want to kill Black. However, in this case, the Awful Truth isn't even the Truth at all because Peter Pettigrew, not Sirius Black is responsible for his parents deaths and Sirius escaped Azkaban to kill Peter Pettigrew, not Harry.

The darker implications of this aren't made clear until Jean complains to Voluptua about it. Voluptua reveals Earth has been part of the Nemesite Empire since before humanity evolved, and if they ever actually try to enforce that rule, every Earth nation's sovereignty would become meaningless, probably leading to a horrible war. And simply letting us out of the empire isn't an option because we're practically at the center of it.

While Ed is at first in denial, he learns to accept it as the childhood he had and decides to become the person these events made him to be. For Robert Carrigan, if learning that his adoptive daughter died drunk and falling off a building wasn't awful enough, he has to learn she actually killed her "best friend" and impersonated her, being alive the whole time and on a criminal spree only to die for real eight years later by falling off a bridge.

Awful Truth / int_e4a1416	comment	In Changes Harry receives a very harsh truth when he goes to Queen Mab, Fae Queen of the Winter Court. He needs her aid and support on his quest to save his kidnapped daughter who he just learned existed not a few days ago. Her price is for Harry to kill a man who betrayed her and in turn, tormented him to the point of driving the murderous rapist to insanity, and to take his place as Winter Knight and now lays defenseless on a stretcher. When Harry hesitates at this request, Mab shows him a live image of the one he needs to save in horrific conditions. She swears on her name and power this image is the truth and actual current condition of the person, and, as she Cannot Tell a Lie, Harry believes her. He then wonders if this isn't some false manipulation, as it is the complete truth, then it could be enlightenment.

Awful Truth / int_e5da461b	comment	NieR has several ones revealed throughout multiple playthroughs, but the main one involves the main mooks, which are called Shades. The game is designed in such a way that you'll probably have killed several hundred Shades (it can feel like a lot more than that) by the endgame, and you don't really give it much thought. The main character eventually develops a psychotic fixation in killing them as a response to the tragedies that plague his life. Towards the very end of the game it is revealed that the shades are actually Gestalts, the remnants of the real humans who underwent a process to clone their bodies which were being dissolved due to a mysterious disease, and the people you thought were humans this whole time were just clones of them called Replicants; the main antagonist of the game, the Shadowlord, is actually the original Nier you played in the prologue, who wants the exact same thing you do. It's implied in your first run through the game, and confirmed in subsequent playthroughs, that most Shades are entirely sentient... which basically makes you a mass murderer. Supplementary materials and Word of God also reveal that by the end of the game your actions have doomed the human race.

Awful Truth / int_e5feb1e	comment	Ace Attorney: Subverted in the first game near the end of case four: Edgeworth reveals to Phoenix the reason he's become so bitter over the years is that he accidentally killed his own father as a child. Phoenix, however, can't believe that, and soon proves the killer was someone else (in fact, it was Edgeworth's adoptive father, making what should have been an Awful Truth for Wright into one for Edgeworth instead.) Justice For All: In case 2, the Awful Truth is that Morgan Fey, Mia and Maya's aunt, is scheming to get Maya framed for murder so that her own daughter, Pearl, can become Master of Kurain village (although Morgan herself is not the murderer). This is hard enough on Mia and Maya, who loved their aunt, but it's even worse for Pearl herself; Mia arranges to have Pearl channel her during the second day of Maya's trial so that she won't have to see Morgan being exposed as an accomplice. In the third case, Moe the clown takes Regina to see the trial so that she CAN see the awful truth - that people don't become a star in the sky when they die, and that Acro has held a deep-seated hatred of her for months. In the fourth and final case, the truth is very simple, but devastating: the man you've been forced to defend in court is guilty as sin, and you can't weasel out of defending him of a crime you know he committed. In Dual Destinies, Edgeworth is callous/brave enough to say that the facts of the case point to an Awful Truth for Athena Cykes â€“ that she killed her mother and/or dismembered her dead body by innocently trying to 'fix' her. Everyone reacts in horror when they realize what Edgeworth is about to say, and what makes it worse is that he's partially correct. (Fortunately, the reality isn't quite so bad, but still pretty brutal.) Apollo gets a biggun in Spirit of Justice upon realizing during the final trial (accompanied by appropriately foreboding music that Dhurke has been dead since before Case 5 even started. In The Great Ace Attorney: In Case 2-3, just before the trial begins, Sholmes cautions Ryunosuke that a key point to this trial is proving that his client's beloved thesis (a working teleporter) is completely impossible after he and Iris looked over it several times and concludes it cannot be proven practically. The same case also has Doctor Sithe warns Ryunosuke of being on the verge of opening "Pandora's Box". She is actually not referring to this particular case but regarding the Professor case, one that she was involved in, and the true identity of the Professor. In Case 2-5, Lord van Zieks has to confront the truth that his beloved brother was in fact the real Professor.

It's an odd example, though, because the books state that a large part of why all the separate Masquerades are in place is for self-preservation: if all of humanity knew the truth, humanity would fight and the supernaturals would lose. The Hunters cause enough problems as it is. There is also the equally terrifying possibility that humanity would fight the supernaturals and no-one would win. What would inherit the Earth in that circumstance doesn't really bear thinking about.

He doesn't take it well. On top of that, turns out their world has been floating above a sea of miasma and death this entire time, only protected by the passage rings and Sephiroth Trees that lift them above the death zone. Oh and thanks in part to the Big Bad, the whole system is going to fail and destroy the world. All of the spoiler stuff is bad but it saves the worst stuff for later, namely that the whole thing was basically predicted from the very beginning and the Big Bad is just speeding things up for his goal of Screwing Destiny. There's a reason that, until recently, Abyss was the darkest of the Tales Series.

Awful Truth / int_f186f924	comment	Horizon Zero Dawn: The society of the Old Ones was super advanced in terms of technology, far more than the primitive tribes that exist in the current world. However, a swarm of "peacekeeping" robots created by Faro Industries glitched out. These robots could hack enemy defenses, eat biomass to refuel, and self-replicate, all while being un-hackable themselves. Humanity's only hope was in Project Zero Dawn, a mysterious superweapon that would shut down the swarm and save the Earth. Millions, if not billions of people signed up for Operation Enduring Victory, fighting the ever-growing swarm with minimal training in a desperate attempt to delay extinction long enough for Zero Dawn. The awful truth is that saving the planet was impossible; there was no way to shut down the swarm before they ate all biomass on Earth, leaving the world nothing but a lifeless rock, filled with several million hibernating robots, "waiting for something to eat." Zero Dawn's true purpose was to calculate the shutdown codes after the swarm had gone into hibernation, then re-terraform the Earth and eventually repopulate it. Every human living in Aloy's time is descended from a human born in a lab. This was bad enough that recruits for Project Zero Dawn had the option of euthanasia (after a forty-eight hour waiting period and therapy) if they couldn't deal with it.

The only reason he didn't kill Uther is because he came to believe Merlin's statement that Morgause lied to him completely instead of only partially. Morgana revealing herself as the traitor in season 3 is such an Awful Truth that Uther never fully recovers.

During her encounter with Terumi in Desperation, Noel goes berserk after realizing he used and tormented Tsubaki, voluntarily lifting the seal on Bolverk with the intention of obliterating him. After feeding off her hatred and pushing her to her limit, Terumi feeds her the history of the Prime Field Devices in graphic detail — up to and including that she is one of them. The relentless input is too much for her to bear, and she promptly breaks down, left prone for tempering into Mu-12. In a surprising use of this trope in a reconstruction, Slight Hope ends with a double serving of it. In addition to learning that Noel is a Prime Field Device amidst a graveyard of her 'predecessors', Makoto learns from Rachel in the very next sentence that beastkin like her were also made by human hands. Unlike Noel, however, Makoto does not break, and in fact uses the experience to strengthen her resolve to save her friends.

When he first got out of the ice, S.H.I.E.L.D. gave him a dossier on all his associates — which is how Steve learned he had a seventy-eight year old younger half-sister living in Nevada. His father, meanwhile, did not die in World War I; he actually died in the 50s, shanked by his fellow inmates in prison after they learned he liked to hit his second wife and daughter. This is what led to Steve killing his first punching bag. Tony learns a similarly heartbreaking truth thanks to Steve's suspicion: his aunt Ana Jarvis did not die via a lightbulb replacement attempt gone wrong. Instead, she got stuck in the crossfire of an assassination attempt on Howard Stark, who himself only survived due to an experimental bulletproof vest. Stemming from that, Tony also learns that this was the third of the ten assassination attempts made on Howard throughout his life, with the last (successful) attempt being the Winter Soldier. Considering this was happening when he was a kid and Tony is currently in his forties right now, he's understandably pissed to realize how long it took for him to learn about this, especially since it confirms that his dad was going to die by HYDRA's hands no matter what happened.
