All of the main characters’ immediate family are killed during the opening scene of the film. It is clear that this was unexpected and that the main character did not have a chance to say goodbye to them.

(Major spoilers) in the final sequence in district 12, Lucy leaves the cabin stating she’s going to collect food. But it’s heavily implied she’s actually leaving as she’s realised at best he’s going to abandon her or at worst, kill her. (The other interpretation, less likely in my mind, she was genuinely gathering food and his paranoid caused him to follow her outside)

This is getting into spoilers, but the protagonist tries to purchase a gift for one of the characters, only to find that they have tricked him and skipped town. It is a very sad scene, and I found it emotional.

I don't know exactly what episode, but a character does leave his team for a period of time, without saying anything to a few of their teammates, and one of them calls this character and somewhat confronts him for leaving without a goodbye.

It’s not shown but it gets brought up a lot. There is a scene where the main character calls his child, which he abadoned following the events of S1, and doesn’t say anything.

Multiple times, too many to break down. Especially if you interpret “leaving” as dying,
More than once a person storms or runs away from the character, then there’s a death. So that’s a double-whammy.
