She did technically smile before, but that was because she covered her face in glue, fixing the expression in place. Asuna does this as she pulls a Beyond the Impossible Heroic Sacrifice, jumping in the path of a blade meant for Kirito. She smiles sweetly as she fades away in Kirito's arms and a player's death animation plays. Granted Asuna didn't actually die thanks to Kirito clearing the game before her real-life body was killed by the Nerve Gear, but everyone (herself included) thought she had passed away so the tropes still comes into play. I shared your message with one of my colleagues at Hospice of the Valley, and this is her response. I hope it brings you some measure of peace and healing: Whereas, of course, it is literally possible to die with a smile on one's face - this may be a matter of character and circumstances and the ability to apply minimal muscle effort to produce the expression - it should be infered from the above No, I never get upset by folks making decisions because I know they're just trying to help and I appreciate them.

No surprise, then, that newborns can dispense and interpret facial expressions with great precision. At just 10 months, for instance, an infant will offer a false smile to an approaching stranger while reserving a genuine, Duchenne smile for its mother. Decades ago, Cohn observed how 3-month-olds reacted to changes in their mother’s expression. When mothers feigned depression, infants threw up their tiny fists in distress, and after just 3 minutes of smile-free interaction they became withdrawn. THE iDOLM@STER— Parodied by Ami when she has to leave for an interview and left her sister to take care of finding out who stole the pudding from the freezer. One of the few instances of actual facial expression in Transformers: Cybertron comes in the form of Vector Prime's final smile as he sacrifices himself to save his friends. Psychological scientists no longer study beheaded rogues — just graduate students, mainly — but they have advanced our understanding of smiles since Duchenne’s discoveries. We now know that genuine smiles may indeed reflect a “sweet soul.” The intensity of a true grin can predict marital happiness, personal well-being, and even longevity. We know that some smiles — Duchenne’s false friends — do not reflect enjoyment at all, but rather a wide range of emotions, including embarrassment, deceit, and grief. We know that variables (age, gender, culture, and social setting, among them) influence the frequency and character of a grin, and what purpose smiles play in the broader scheme of existence. In short, scientists have learned that one of humanity’s simplest expressions is beautifully complex.

Ryoko Asakura of Haruhi Suzumiya, who despite her evil intentions of slicing Kyon to bits with a knife maintains a smile throughout most of her battle with Yuki and keeps a smiling face as she is being dissolved by Yuki. That just makes her more frightening. She doesn't really see the importance of death. In her Image Song, she even states that heartbeats are nothing more than trivial, wave-like patterns. Sachi does this right before she's killed. Her death really troubles Kirito, as he was unable to save his four guild members from the obvious trap/ambush room they entered. And even when he found an item to resurrect players, it was useless to him, as it had to be used within ten seconds of a player's death, but by the time he got the item, Sachi had already been dead for six months. Proximo [ edit ] Some of you are thinking you won't fight. Others, that you can't fight. They all say that until they're out there.
