Let Them Die Happy	comment	So, it's the end. Someone you know is about to bite it, having fought the good fight and, well, lost. But it's okay, you tell them; the battle's as good as won, the reinforcements will be here soon, and everything will be all right. And so they pass on happy, secure in the knowledge that everything's okay. Well, that's a lie. There aren't reinforcements coming. In fact, you look pretty screwed. But, hey. At least your friend died happy, right? Let Them Die Happy is what happens when one character gives another one last thing to hope for, even if said thing doesn't technically exist. Sure, they may be pissed off when they get to the afterlife (if there is such a thing in the setting), but at least they were happy in their darkest hour. Right? Subtrope of Comfort the Dying. Can occur if someone goes along with a dying character's Delirious Misidentification. Compare Go Out with a Smile, for when the dying character smiles for the sake of their surviving loved one, and The Power of Legacy, where the lie is being told by another on behalf of the dead for the sake of the living. Not to be confused with Died Happily Ever After, when a character is "released" and finally at peace after his death. Compare Lying to Protect Your Feelings. Often overlaps with Died in Ignorance, as the lie prevents the dead from finding out the painful truth. As this is a Death Trope, spoilers will be unmarked. Examples

As they board a ship to leave the island, two of them, Max Shea and Hira Manish, have a tryst in the engine room. As they're settling in, Max finds a strange box covered in a tarp and when he examines it finds a time bomb with seconds remaining. Rather than tell Hira they're about to die, Max holds her and tells her everything is fine.

As Bojack prepares to leave her at a retirement home to die in anger, she suddenly gains a moment of lucidity and calls out to him, scared and unsure of where she is. Bojack at first bluntly tells her the truth, but seeing how panicked she is, he decides to lie. He tells her she's at her childhood home, surrounded by her family. She goes along with it, seemingly believing it, until he tells her she's eating Vanilla ice cream. While he doesn't know it, Beatrice never had a chance in her life to eat ice cream, but she still reassures him she can taste it.

Let Them Die Happy / int_1bb6d4b5	comment	In the Get Backers anime, Ban Midou uses his Jagan on his Stalker with a Crush Takuma Fudou for the last time, giving Fudou the illusion that he and Ban are rapturously going at it, when in fact in reality Ban has actually already fatally wounded him and he's lying on the ground dying. The expression of sheer joy on his face when he finally dies (while he's still in the illusion) is akin to pure bliss. In the manga, one of the first chapters has Ban and Ginji accepting a job from a poor old man to rescue his daughter who was taken by the mafia. After reaching her, she reveals that she has come to like the rich lifestyle of the mafia and betrays the two. After fighting their way out, Ban and Ginji return to the old man to report their failure only to discover that he had been mugged and brutally beaten. As the old man lay dying, Ban uses his Hypnotic Eyes to give him the illusion that his daughter came back to him.

Let Them Die Happy / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: Yamamoto promises Rukia before her execution that he will allow Ichigo and his friends, who'd invaded the Seireitei to rescue her, to return home unharmed, when he actually has no intention of doing this. The trope is discussed when Isane complains that it's cruel to lie to Rukia like this, but Unohana disagrees, saying that this way, Rukia can die without having to worry about her friends. This is subverted: mere minutes later, Ichigo shows up and rescues her. In the movie Memories of Nobody, as Senna is dying, she instructs Ichigo to take her to her family grave to prove that she is actually a real person who was alive, and not just a collection of memories. Unable to see, she then asks Ichigo if her name is written on the tombstone. It's so weathered that the name can no longer be read, but Ichigo assures Senna that hers is there. Happens accidentally to Ulquiorra. During the Arrancar arcs, a large part of his character development was spent on him questioning what emotions, or a heart, are. His final moments after pretty much seeing his plan go to hell are spent on him contemplating one of his more famous quotes. Reaching out to Orihime, he asks if she's afraid, and she replies that she isn't and reaches out to hold Ulquiorra's hand. There, it clicks and he realizes what a "heart" really is, and dies as happily as a Social Darwinist Manipulative Bastard like him can. When Byakuya is dying, Ichigo rushes to his side and Byakuya asks if Renji and Rukia are alive. Ichigo says they are, but hides the fact they're in terrible condition. Subverted: Byakuya lapses into a coma but doesn't die, and Renji and Rukia also pull through.

Though reluctant, Usagi agrees to assist him, as Hikiji is visiting the area, and they seemingly succeed despite the samurai being mortally wounded in the process. However, Usagi discovers that the man who was killed was actually just Hikiji's kagemusha (body double), but allows his old ally to die thinking he had avenged their lord.

Foreman, who up until now has been cold toward her because personal issues prevent him from sympathizing with the homeless, comforts her pretending to be her husband. She's too sick to tell the difference. Making it even sadder, the reason her husband isn't there is because he and their infant son are already dead. They died in a car accident — and she was the driver. She had fallen apart from guilt and became homeless and destitute when she contracted rabies. Foreman helped absolve her of the guilt that had plagued her for years.

In reality, not only are the "reinforcements" just Squad E, who are all exhausted to the point they can barely stand, but there's almost nobody left in Squad F to save. For some truly cruel irony, actual reinforcements, in the form of the Federation's snow cruiser fleet, show up almost immediately after Cristel dies. In the first Valkyria Chronicles, there is a scene where Welkin and Alicia are stranded in an isolated cabin during the night and a gravely wounded Imperial scout stumbles in. The wounds are too deep for them to treat and the delirious and pain-wracked boy begins crying out for his mother, so Alicia kindly pretends to be his mother and comforts him in his last moments.

While he's expressing his relief to the guards escorting him down the corridor, one shoots him in the back of the head. In a fine example of Karmic Death, the interrogators themselves are shot from behind shortly after being congratulated by an Overseer on a job well done.

After he dies, the camera pans to show a large piece of shrapnel embedded in Christina's spacesuit — she dies only moments later. It's important to note that this is an example because Christina assures him before hand that he succeeded. Not even the audience realizes the truth until the camera reveals she was already fatally wounded. Then, just to erase any doubt, the remains of the bridge explodes, consuming both of them.

But this is also a subversion, because Elan can't bring himself to lie and tell her he'll dump Haley for her if she's raised.

He's on what has turned out to be a suicide mission with an alternate universe version of Rewind. As he's about to die, Rewind asks if, in this universe, he and his conjunx endura (roughly, spouse) Chromedome are still together, because Chromedome died in his universe; he's told that they're "inseparable". Ultimately, he survives, and discovers that that was a lie; in this universe, Rewind died. (On the bright side, their silent reunion is one of the most touching scenes in the comic.)

Let Them Die Happy / int_6fb3c581	comment	In the DC The Books of Magic series evil Industrial Age reverend turned robot Slagginham dies and his chimney sweep former ward who was lost in another dimension turned into an ash monster assures that the person who killed Slagginham, main character Timothy Hunter, died as well. Said ward immediately tries to make said statement true. Though since Tim is basically an avatar of all the magic in the world, he has little luck and is later turned into a puppy. This was a really weird series. And Slagginham died because Tim's imaginary TV repair-man friend caused him to commit suicide by pointing out his plan to make himself happier by making other people more miserable and thus freeing up the world's supply of happy wouldn't work. No, I'm not making any of this up.

Garak lies and says all of his enemies are dead, to which his father says that's good, since a man shouldn't let his enemies outlive him. This may even be the truth, since in his previous appearance he wiped out everyone but Garak and his housekeeper that even knew who he was. In the episode "Treachery, Faith, and the Great River", a Vorta Defector from Decadence sacrifices himself to protect Odo, whom he still considers to be a god. As he lies dying, he asks Odo for his blessing. Odo, who hates the fact that the Vorta worship his people, is reluctant at first but decides to say the words that the man needs to hear in order to die happy.

Towards the end of one cycle, where he's become a professor with a following of dedicated students at a conservatory, he and the rest of his team realize they have eight days to find the Light of Creation, or the world they're on is doomed. Taako enlists his students to search for the Light, but it quickly becomes clear to him that it's hopeless, and the apocalypse is nigh. So when his students eagerly present him with an enchanted diamond, asking if that's the Light, he smiles and says, "Yep, that's it!" and tells them that as a reward, he's giving them all the next week off from classes. He tells them all to get together with their closest friends and loved ones, go someplace fun, let loose, not worry about work, and essentially eat, drink, and be merry... because he wants them to at least have the time of their lives before they all come to an end.

Sam goes to first Special Agent Casper, then Dr. Nancy McNally, in the hopes of getting justice for an innocent victim of McCarthyism. Nancy hits him with the truth: Daniel Gault was in fact the Soviet agent Blackwater, and translator Shaba Demsky was murdered to protect his identity. Sam, who has been sleeping over in the West Wing in response to learning his father had been cheating on his mother for 28 years, and is in a negative headspace already, angrily resolves to rip the Band-Aid off, giving an impassioned speech about treason against the U.S. being a crime both against the living and the dead who died defending it. But after asking if Stephanie has heard of Shaba Demsky, he decides at the last minute to say he'll "try [to pardon Gault] again in 3 months," allowing her father to die with false hope.

Tom dies believing that his death is justified in that this exchange of fire will make people see that war isn't the answer to the conflict between England and the colonies. As he dies, Sarah agrees with him and tells him that the conflict will stop when they see the reality of this short battle, but when she writes to her mother shortly after his death, she tells her that she is now even more sure that full-out war is inevitable.

In the "Unlimited Blade Works" scenario, Illya seeks out Berserker because she needs to know they will win their fight against Gilgamesh. Berserker defies the laws of the world and stands there until she dies. The reason she thinks everything will be OK is because her eyes were gouged out, and she dies because Gilgamesh rips out her heart. Caster tries to do a Heroic Sacrifice to protect her Master (Kuzuki-sensei) from Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon. As she fades, he assures her that he'll be okay thanks to her intervention.

She finally does on the Demon's Run asteroid, but the Doctor hasn't yet visited her and she's been mortally wounded. The Doctor pretends to remember her for her last moments, rather than let her die disappointed that the Doctor in front of her isn't her Doctor. Even sadder, it's left deliberately ambiguous whether the Doctor simply hasn't met her yet or whether he has and has simply forgotten her. Given that the rest of the episode is about the Doctor getting too big for his britches and losing sight of the impact he has on the people around him, the latter answer stands out as a very notable probability. In "In The Forest Of The Night", Clara and Danny refrain from telling the schoolchildren about the imminent solar flare, because they don't want to spoil a lovely outing by letting them know the Earth is in danger.

Sadly averted in an earlier season episode. Dying from a combination of AIDS and a suicide attempt, a hallucinating woman keeps begging her husband to forgive her — she cheated on him, contracted the virus, and passed it on to him and their daughter. However, her angry and unforgiving husband isn't even there, it's one of the doctors she's talking to. He is unable to bring himself to say "I forgive you", whether because he himself is disgusted at her actions or simply feels it's unethical to deceive her. Another episode had Luka pretending to be a priest in order to hear a dying woman's confessions (a real one could not be located) and give her solace before she passed on.

She's blinded from the pain, and Roa's still regenerating... so as she bleeds out, Shiki comforts her and says that she finally did it, she finally killed Roa. Then she dies, and a very angry Shiki gets up, gives a "No More Holding Back" Speech, and promptly utterly wtfpwns Roa.

As he's dying, Buffy says she loves him. Spike responds, "No you don't, but thanks for saying it." Played heartbreakingly straight at the end of "I Was Made To Love You". As April, the abandoned robot girlfriend, slowly runs out of power, she tries to convince herself that Warren is coming back, and Buffy assures her that he will.

In addition, he could have used it to defeat him early on and probably stop Majin Buu's revival before it happened. This is also averted during Vegeta's actual death in the same saga earlier on. Right before he sets off to use a suicidal attack against Buu, Vegeta asks Piccolo if he'll have a chance to see Goku in the afterlife. Although Piccolo manages to find some respect for Vegeta selflessly giving his life to save everyone from Majin Buu, he still bluntly tells him that one good action isn't enough to redeem himself for all his previous atrocities: he's going to Hell. Vegeta still goes through with it without hesitation.

She lies to her Morality Pet Yuichiro, who's dying by saying that his friend Tadakatsu (whom she killed) ran away after accidentally shooting him, making him believe that he's still alive. She also doesn't reveal to him that she manipulated them all along and gives him a sincere kiss just before killing him instantly with a gun so that her face is his last vision. While the narration doesn't explicitly say it, she had no other reasons than this trope to act like that.

Before the current days of primitive humans and animal-like machines, the Old Ones had a ridiculously advanced society that was wiped out by self-replicating machines that can eat biomass for fuel and fell victim to a glitch that took them off their leash. Every person able to fight against the machines was given a gun and thrust into the war, on the premise that a super-weapon, "Project Zero Dawn", will be completed and eradicate the machine plague. In reality, the plague was unstoppable, and PZD was just a way to re-populate the Earth after there was nothing left for the machines to eat and codes could be generated to shut down the plague for good.
