Most touching or emotional is hard to nail down, but I'd say the most significant death is Alys, easily. She's pretty much the main character up until that point, so it's surprising when she's offed rather abruptly. Up until then, she's the dominant personality in all of the cutscenes and is calling all of the shots. She's the one with the established reputation, and she has this history with Rune that you expect to see elaborated on at some point in the game, but it never comes to pass. There's also the curious details of having an unknown age and sharing a near-identical name with PS1's main character, even if that is only an artifact of the localization.
