I totally get that too. There was a character I liked so much I would have bad dreams IRL about them dying and how bad I would feel. When they finally did die it hit me pretty hard, I cried a little for a few days, it was especially hard because it was 2 characters from the same player, died at the same time. Both were important to characters of mine, and had known them all their lives (and for me irl, probably 5 to 6 years) it can really tug on your heartstrings. I think the fact that real people play everyone makes it hard too, there's a very genuine personality like the character is alive, and when they die it can be shocking. Cantr often reminds me of my own mortality which freaks me out, but I have to accept it, and sometimes I take time to just be sad about it, because death always sucks, even pretend death. And being upset about any death is normal, we just feel it in different degrees because of different bonds we have with an entity, whether a real person or a character they wrote to simulate a real person.
