comment
If an important character, often the Big Bad, is an Emotionless Girl or similar character, chances are that on their deathbed, they'll finally learn how to feel. Accordingly, their last words often reflect this. Often used to show that the character isn't completely emotionless but was simply not in touch with their own emotions until now.
Subtrope of Final Speech. Sometimes overlaps with I'm Cold... So Cold... or Alas, Poor Villain.
As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day:
The T-800 says that he finally understands why humans cry.
T-1000 displays a nice Oh, Crap! face before he's wasted.

A rather twisted example from Chapter 163 of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Doma meets Shinobu in Purgatory after their deaths, and Doma feels an emotion for the first in his life; love. Towards Shinobu, the woman he killed and who absolutely hates his guts. She doesn't reciprocate.

On Once Upon a Time, this happens with the death of Cora. As her death is precipitated by literally restoring her heart (she removed it years ago), she is able to express her love for her daughter for the first time in Regina's life before she passes away.
