Intermezzo. I had a strained relationship with my brother before he died so the ending touched me.

That one did, but the middle half was kinda boring desu. Maybe that's why those parts are so powerful

None of them.
After experiencing actual loss the imaginary kind feels like a bad joke.

Generally connecting to the actual loss is what makes people cry. It has nothing to do with who has experienced more.
