* When the two little Roma children, Tibor and Luminita, are discussing their respective mentors Mihas and Zaha, Tibor remarks that he things Mihas likes Zaha, and Luminita responds that he's out of luck because Zaha's a lesbian. The unconcerned, matter-of-fact way she says it makes it clear that it's not a big deal, which is incredibly heartwarming if you know how conservative and often homophobic eastern European culture can be.

* Emma and her relationship with the Smith's, her surrogate parents. Really Orochi researchers meant to study her for her haltingly powerful anima capabilities, Winston grows genuinely fond of Emma and tries his best to keep her safe, referring to her by her actual name and not as 'the subject.' Julia is much more cold to her and borders on being an [[AbusiveParents abusive parent,]] not considering Emma a 'girl' at all, let alone her child. But when Julia is delirious from the opening stages of Filth infection, she tells Emma she's sorry and, even if Emma knows she isn't entirely sincere, she sweetly kisses Julia on the forehead as she passes out again. After Emma's abilities [[spoiler: cure the Smith's of the Filth vector,]] Julia is warmer, gently sedating Emma when she's having nightmares and trying to help her through it. Even though Winston is offscreen at that particular moment, you can just feel the worried looks the two of them are giving each other.

* Che revealing in ''Dawn of the Morninglight'' that he really did like John and sincerely didn't know what the Morninglight was planning for him. He's ''extremely'' bitter and angry when he learns the true extent of how the Morninglight used the two of them and, in John's case, threw him away like he was trash.

Adding Moose and (sort of) Andy's story

Added DiffLines:

*When you talk to Sandy "Moose" Jansen in the back corner of the police station turned into a makeshift survivors' fortress, you get some back story on the past couple events from his point of view. You learn that [[spoiler:he was originally one of the people in a trance like state walking towards the mysterious sea fog until Deputy Andy finds him, ties a rope around them both, and acts like an anchor until it's over thus saving Moose's life.]] Moose makes it apparent that he is perfectly capable of leaving the cursed town and surviving on his own but refuses to leave Andy who refuses to leave the town and its surviving people. It's both heartwarming and heartbreaking when [[spoiler:he basically tells you that he's in an unrequited love with the Deputy who may only ever see him as a good friend.]]

* In Blue Mountain, Eleanor Franklin appears to be curiously uninformed and untouched by [[ZombieApocalypse recent events]]. When speaking with her about the Fog it is implied that her deceased husband Ed saved her life by keeping her inside the house. In a game where the ghosts are largely angry or malevolent, it is a testament to the love Ed still holds for his wife that he actively tries to protect her.

--> '''Eleanor Franklin:''' This fog's outstaying its welcome though. Must have put a real dampener on the town Halloween, haven't had a single knock at the door until you showed up. Not that I'm complaining...but I do resign myself to the visits this time of year. Couple of times I thought I spied some [[ZombieInfectee folks]] out in the gardens, but Ed said nope, it was nothing. Wait for it to blow over, he said, same as that big Halloween storm in '91.

* The UglyCute nature of some of the vanity pets can make them extremly endearing, moreso than the normal ones. We're pretty desensitized to adorable cats these days, but replace "cat" with "cat-sized undead moth" or "dog-sized squishy blobby big-headed tentacle thing that jumps up and down," and you get some really weird d'awww moments.

Usher and Montag's professional relationship might be eccentric at best, and Carter doesn't have any reason to see him as anything other than a creepy teacher with a habit of giving nightmarish lectures, but they're not ready to let him die- even if it's for a good cause.
