tug at the heartstrings Explanation: they cause you to feel pity or sadness. One of the elements of telling a story is to create an emotion, as explained in the steps of storytelling. I believe that tugging at the heartstrings would be a suitable definition here. https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/pull+at+heartstrings |

Touch a nerve Explanation: It's really about "hitting someone where it hurts", and touching a nerve is the classic easily-relatable dentist experience of hitting/touching a nerve. That's one idea. |
