** Upon arriving at the Church of Comstock, the first playable area in Columbia, the first thing you hear is a choir chanting a very meaningful song: [[spoiler: "Will The Circle Be Unbroken"]]. The song speaks of Columbia as the better home awaiting for those who wish to escape America. It also [[ForeShadowing hints at the never-ending cycle of Booker being sent here only to fail and die.]] And yet, the score is so moving, that when that when you hear it, it is enough to make you weep.

* During the first odd desaturated segment were you're at Booker's office, you hear [[spoiler: Robert]] slamming on the door, yelling that "they had a deal". Booker's responds that he's not going to go through with it. [[spoiler: It's nice to know that he didn't want/wasn't going to go through with selling Anna.]] Unfortunately, this is not particularly meaningful until a second play through.
** In the second such segment, Booker demands they promise not to hurt the girl if he brings her to them. [[spoiler: Comstock may have smashed that promise to shreds, but it is nice to see Booker try.]]
* At one point, the player is given prompts to "Help Elizabeth" and "Tie Corset". [[spoiler: Becomes HeartwarmingInHindsight when you realize that Booker is helping his daughter get up and get dressed, something he never had a chance to do.]]

* In the Battleship Bay section when you see Duke and Dimwit for the first time, Elizabeth will sometimes wander around holding Cotton Candy. She doesn't comment, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QQmB-HM0W0 but it's adorable]].
** Actually, at least on the Boardwalk, she can get cotton candy again and comment on how much she's missed out on. Which is a bit of TearJerker.
* The couple from the "marriage" raffle in the beginning of the game thank you later on in Battleship Bay if you choose not to "cast the first stone" at them.
** And in a meta heartwarming moment, judging from most Youtube playthroughs, the vast majority of players, for obvious and understandable reasons, chose to try to throw the baseball at the announcer instead.

You take control of him and get to open the door, while he calls her name, and then the screen fades to white. The obvious implication being that, in one reality at least, Booker got to be with his daughter and will be able to raise her in a happy and loving way]]

*It may be due to the graphical quality of Infinite, but Columbia is very beautiful. In contrast to the dark, ruinous Rapture, when you get to Columbia, you see how bright and glorious it is. It's a moment to savor, especially when you know, being in the Bioshock universe [[spoiler:or rather, multiverse,]] it is not going to last.

*After a recap of both the first Bioshock and Episode 1 of Burial at Sea, Episode 2 seems to start off in Paris. And graphically, even for Bioshock Infinite, it is breathtaking. Knowing Bioshock, I had known something horrible will happen quickly, but at least it gave me something peaceful to behold, if only for seven minutes. And it doesn't hurt that the beautiful "La Vie En Rose" playing in the background, with a cute, crowning moment of heartwarming going to a bird briefly joining in.

How does this piece of her represent itself? [[spoiler: As the man she herself says she considers to be her only true friend.
