History Heartwarming / UnderNightInBirth

* Any scene in which [[TheStoic Chaos]] interacts with [[RatedMForManly Gordeau]]. The two are clearly completely comfortable in each other's presence, with Chaos opening up and smiling more and Gordeau totally dropping his tough-guy act to chat as equals. FriendlyRivalry at its finest.

* Hyde's a pretty good source for these. Despite being loud and vulgar, he's actually an ''incredibly'' NiceGuy.

** This is amplified further in Chronicle Mode where it's revealed that it was Gordeau who brought Chaos into Amnesia and it also shows how quickly their friendship grew in the span of a couple of months. When Roger was killed, Gordeau sank into a depression and Chaos made it part of his schedule to check in on Gordeau almost every day. Despite Hilda's loud objections to Gordeau taking a break from Amnesia, Chaos completely understood where Gordeau was coming from and agreed to his leave of absence without complaint.
** Most of Amnesia show similar signs of this. Despite being the leading villainous faction of the organization, and [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits looking like they have absolutely nothing in common]], they're a very tight-knit group of friends. Both Gordeau and Chaos, despite voicing their issues with Hilda, can't seem to simply let her risk herself into becoming a void like Roger did with her ambition. Even with their problems with her, they still consider her a friend. Chaos is also friends with Enkidu and the latter is especially empathetic to Gordeau seeing as how someone close to Enkidu passed away without him ever expecting it.

** There's also his moment with Londrekia, who can be considered to be, quite possibly, the closest person that Merkava has to a friend. After having a friendly conversation spawned from Londrekia's curiosity, Merkava jokingly steals his luggage and takes it to Licht Kreis HQ, just to save him the trouble of carrying it back down the mountain path. Londrekia also promises to alter his mission report, suggests that Merkava relocates somewhere else in case more teams are sent to look for him and even promises to [[SympathyForTheDevil help him return back to normal should they find a solution to reversing the transformation into a Void]]. And don't forget that Londrekia was given direct orders to hunt down and kill Merkava.

* Seth has been characterized to be brooding and very laconic in his interactions before Chronicle Mode and nobody expected to see such a difference in character to how he was when he was younger. His Chronicle Mode episode has a segment where we see Seth from 10 years ago, a shy but very determined little boy who encounters a previous incarnation of Linne. Seth's shares his starry-eyed wish to help the poor tortured Princess he heard of in legends almost makes Linne cry after hearing someone so determined to save her after being blamed for all the things she had no part in by the Night Blade itself. Linne even tries to badly cover up the fact that she's the Princess in question and Seth answers that if she were the Princess, he'd take her back home with him so the rest of his family could help her too. In the end, Seth promises to one day save her and he'll be training every day to acquire strength and maybe even fight his father one day to prove it.

* Everything about Linne and Waldstein's relationship. Waldstein used to be an Executor for Licht Kreis in his mortal years, but was saved by Kuon despite them being on opposing sides. Out of gratitude, Waldstein switched sides from Licht Kreis to Night Blade, and soon found himself in charge of looking after his sister Linne. They go everywhere together, and Waldstein has gone out of his way to raise her again every time she takes over another child's body. He's doting towards her, treats her like a little girl regardless of how old she actually is mentally, tries to make sure she eats healthy, and even suggests that she ties the knot with another boy at some point without really understanding that society's standards for marriage have changed in the centuries they've lived for. It wouldn't be a stretch at this point to call Waldstein Linne's adoptive father, a sentiment he himself firmly believes.

* At [=CEO=] 2019, professional Waldstein player Argenrost, despite making 5th in the Top 8, completely stole the show by [[https://www.facebook.com/BxAGaming/videos/its-been-a-wonderful-weekend-for-us-at-ceo-2019-in-daytona-beach-florida-however/460964171147908/ proposing to his then-girlfriend at the end of the award ceremony]]. Such a heart-melting way to cap off an amazing event.

* Despite his [[HorrorHunger unfortunate]] [[TragicMonster predicament]], Merkava gets a few of these when he encounters certain characters. Both [[SmartGuy Chaos]] and [[RobotGirl Vatista]] are intelligent enough to quickly get a grasp of his situation, and rather than freak out or attack him like the others do, they sit down and have a surprisingly civil chat about their respective natures and abilities. Even when his hunger overtakes him and he attacks, they never stop showing the utmost respect for him as a fellow intellectual. And, of course, Hyde's only response to seeing him in the flesh is to [[AllLovingHero geek over how cool he is and try to make conversation]].

*** Going even further with this, Londrekia's win-quote against Merkava actually has him sparing the Void simply because of his unmoving faith in his lingering humanity.

Even with their problems with her, they still consider her a friend.

-->''"I've never forgotten about what happened then... I am sorry, and I always have been. I lost sight of myself, and well... What I did was pretty messed up. And afterwards, I ran and hid like a coward, pretending I knew nothing. Pretty pathetic, huh? But that's all in the past now. I know it might be too late, but I found a reason to fight. And not because that "person" told me to, either. I fight because I want to."''

** The younger Seth even mentions how he should get stronger to save her and contemplates training harder to run faster.

** Despite being designed to eliminate In-Births, Vatista [[ThouShaltNotKill isn't actually all that keen on killing anyone]], and refuses to use lethal force against even [[BigBad Hilda]]. All bets are off against [[HumanoidAbomination Merkava]], on the other hand.

** Remember the Insulator? The dreaded sword wielded by Hyde that has almost everyone in the Hollow Night out to get him for? [[spoiler: Turns out it was created from Vatista's missing wing, which she willingly gave to Kuon for that exact purpose. She'll straight up give part of herself to you if she believes you will use it for a good purpose.]]

* In Byakuya's arcade ending, [[spoiler: he vows to continue aiding Tsukuyomi in finding the person she's looking for, even after letting it slip that they're not siblings and trying to kill and devour her. What makes him change his mind? He sees a mark on her chest that prompts her to explain to him her true goals; To find a friend of hers she hurt in the past and apologize.]]

** No one would have guessed how close Hyde and Orie were until Chronicle Mode and some research in the Character Q&As shed more light on their friendship. Orie frequently visited Hyde's house after learning that he lived alone to help clean and cook for him. She also frequently helped him study for exams and general schoolwork. What's more, Linne's keen observations judge that the two clearly show interest in the other from body language alone. She also makes an assumption on how such a punk like Hyde met with an honor student like Orie and deduces that Orie's status as a transfer student had Hyde assisted her in getting acclimated to the co-ed school environment. All this and they still end up meeting out in the night and are forced to fight each other where Hyde decides to side with Linne and Orie sides with her loyalties to Licht Kreis.

** When he encounters Yuzuriha, he apologizes to her for something he did in the past, and has regretted ever since. He then goes on to state his reasons for fighting, culminating in a friendly spar between them.

** Yuzuriha and Hyde were apparently very well acquainted when they were younger, to a point where he still thinks of her like an older sister to him. Hyde was very attached to her in their youth and Yuzuriha was equally as affectionate towards her cute little brother figure. Their respective victory dialog against the other has Hyde telling Yuzuriha not to fall asleep outside and catch a cold while if Yuzuriha wins, she expresses how proud she is of how strong Hyde has become.

** Hyde's entire reason for being in the Hollow Night is because he wanted to help Linne fight Hilda, despite being specifically ordered to stay behind.

** He clearly doesn't want to fight Orie, his friend in normal life, but is forced to because her faction opposes Linne. During this conflict, he again demonstrates his loyalty to Linne and desire to help her.
** In his arcade ending, he gives Linne a piggyback ride home with a goofy grin on his face.

* Evidently, Mika went through alot of trouble to travel to Japan and help Orie with the Hollow Night, despite receiving no real orders to do so. Now ''that's'' true loyalty.

* Any scene in which [[TheStoic Chaos]] interacts with [[RatedMForManly Gordeau]]. The two are clearly completely comfortable in each other's presence, with Chaos opening up and smiling more and Gordeau totally dropping his tough-guy act to chat as equals. [[FriendlyRivals Friendly Rivalry]] at its finest.
