Because of too much sorrow with 〜あまり

クイン・セレニティ:

「ーーー遅(おそ)かった」

“...it was too late.”

「彼(かれ)はあなたを守(まも)り倒(たお)れ」

“To protect you, he fell.”

「悲(かな)しみのあまりあなたも自害(じがい)を……」

“Because your sorrow was too much, you took your own life.”

Key Points

1. 悲(かな)しみのあまり gives an overwhelming cause

   • 〜のあまり means an emotion or state is so intense that it leads to what follows.

   • Here the cause is not ordinary sadness, but sorrow great enough to drive the tragic action.

2. The noun before あまり takes の

   • Because 悲(かな)しみ is a noun, it links to あまり with の.

   • With verbs or adjectives, the form before あまり can look different, but this scene uses the noun pattern.

3. 自害を… is deliberately unfinished

   • 自害(じがい) means taking one’s own life, and the omitted verb is understood from context.

   • The trailing sentence keeps the retelling solemn and avoids stating the act too bluntly.
