** Across the whole game, it's sweet to see Guybrush's eternal quest to be a Mighty Pirate has not only given him lots of good memories but also true friends. Despite them all (except Elaine) being varying degrees of VitriolicBestBuds, he comes across as genuinely close with Carla, Otis, Wally, the Voodoo Lady, Stan, the former Pirate Leaders, and even Murray if you squint.



* When Guybrush finishes his story for Boybrush, his son is a bit skeptical by the AntiClimax given. There's a variety of different answers one can give about it, but one of the options is that the story can always keep going and change with every telling like a good story will.

** Their relationship has reached its logical conclusion. They're both getting on in their years and they love each other. Even though there is a RedHerring set up where Elaine is confronted with Guybrush's, let's say, less thoughtful actions, she just gently points them out and suggests he could have done better.
