* Practically everything about [[GentleGiant Glottis]], especially once he becomes best friends with [[TrueCompanions Manny]]. The big guy already lives and breathes endearing with his hammy, enthusiastic, child-like love of life, but the big brother/little brother-like relationship between the two of them is both inspiring and adorable beyond words. Some standout moments include:

** After Manny, Glottis, and the rescued souls make it to the gates of the Ninth Underworld in Year 4, Glottis falls deathly ill and collapses. It turns out, he had been slowly dying during their entire journey there due to [[MakesSenseInContext speed withdrawal]], and didn't tell Manny because he didn't want him to worry. And Manny, despite the fact that he now has full right to walk straight into heaven and never look back, barely wastes a second of his time constructing a makeshift vehicle that will save Glottis and the other lost souls, compromising ''four years'' worth of travel and work that he has no proof he'll be able to make up again.

** Also, his thanking Manny for setting him straight (he'd been walking in circles for ''years'') - without Manny, he'd have never gone on to his final reward. Considering the two of them hadn't parted on good terms, it's quite a welcome scene.

* At the beginning of the fourth act, Manny has traveled all the way to the Tunnel into the Ninth Underworld, which has been his goal the entire game and his only motivation at the start, and is now able to walk into it, leave everything behind and finally achieve his well-deserved rest. [[WhatYouAreInTheDark But he doesn't.]] He feels too much responsibility for all the poor people he's traveled with that he's determined to help them enter it first, even if he risks losing the opportunity himself.

** Souls that reach this place are considered within their rights to walk in, just by virtue of having traveled here for four variably comfortable years. The fact that Manny considers doing so, and then puts others above himself anyway, could be seen as the moment he truly ''earned'' his Golden Ticket.
