** Perhaps not the standard sort of heartwarming, but Michael's argument with Uriel about the loan certainly seems to show what a good man he is. At first Micheal want's to give back the loan immediately, and is quite adamant about it. When Uriel says the loan is to save a soul Michael is done arguing. The possibility of saving just one soul is more important to Michael then the numerous arguments he had just moments earlier; even if he didn't know anything about how or what soul might be saved.

* For some reason, Demonreach's wanting and accepting the name 'Alfred' after Harry jokingly called it that. A running theme in the series is the power of names, and that Harry gives out names and nicknames like candy. One of which, Lash, the name he gives to the shadow of Lasciel, leads her to reject her destiny and ''sacrifice herself for him''. Which was such a powerful gesture of love that it allowed a new spirit of intellect to be born from the both of them. Considering Demonreach was only ever meant to be a guard of unspeakable things and little else, the idea that it might not only be developing a personality but doing so out of the ''want'' for one is just kind of a good moment for me.

* Butters spends most of the book being heartbroken that Harry's been gone for so long, feeling betrayed and abandoned by someone he looked up to.
