History Heartwarming / VirtuesLastReward

---

* K's story as revealed in his path, which is mixed with TearJerker: [[spoiler:After finally getting a surrogate mother in Rhizome-9 in the form of Akane, the 18 year old Kyle finally experiences true happiness in his family]].
* In what doubles as a TearJerker, the password of the old woman is [[spoiler:Jumpydoll. "Jumpy" was Akane's nickname for Junpei when they were children, and her most treasured possession was the doll he gave her as a parting gift. Akane never forgot about Junpei, even after all those years.]]

* Quark's ending. [[spoiler:Knowing full-well that Dio will choose "betray", Sigma chooses "ally" to get Dio to give up the Axelavir to save Quark's life, even though this means his BP will drop to -1]]. This also leads to an Awesome Moment where Sigma [[spoiler:forces Dio to hand over the Axelavir even after being injected with the Soporil, ''then'' keeps Dio from going through the Number 9 door just long enough for it to crush his arm. When he wakes up, there's a stump where his arm should be, but the others are relieved to see him, including Quark, who thanks Sigma for doing what he did]]. It's very sweet. [[spoiler:[[MoodWhiplash Then things promptly go to hell when Alice displays Radical-6 symptoms]]]].
* In Alice's ending, [[spoiler:she has just betrayed you ''again''. She plays it cool, but once she and Sigma are alone, she breaks down and confesses that she feels horrible about it and admits that Sigma would be justified if he killed her right there. Sigma does not and instead forgives her.]]

* In the true ending, [[spoiler:everyone (except Dio, who is kept unconscious) agrees to play the Ambidex Game over and over with everyone picking Ally until all of them have enough BP to escape. And they actually do it, with nobody giving in to the urge to open the number 9 door before everyone else can. This is the only ending in which this happens--in every other ending where somebody gets 9 BP, he or she immediately opens the door and escapes, abandoning the others (or in the case of Sigma, being held down by the others while Clover escapes or getting knocked out and possibly having his arm removed to steal his bracelet)]].
* In order to get Dio's "good" ending, you have to [[spoiler:choose "betray" against Clover, who is already distraught over Alice's death]]. If you [[spoiler:choose "ally" instead, you get Dio's bad ending, but Clover is clearly touched and thanks Sigma for it]].
* In Sigma's ending, when [[spoiler:Luna and Sigma talk in the garden and she wonders whether or not he may be a robot. Sigma asks if she isn't afraid of him, since - if that were the case - it's possible he's being controlled by Zero. Her response is that she even if he were, she wouldn't be scared. Why? "Maybe ''because'' you're a robot." Now, [[MeaningfulEcho how does that dialogue in Luna's ending go again?]]]]
* Tenmyouji admitting that, out of everyone, the person he trusts most after Quark is Clover. Considering [[spoiler: he's really Junpei]], it makes sense, but think about it a little deeper. [[spoiler: Junpei knew Clover for about nine hours in the Second Nonary Game, where there were highly suspicious of one-another and where she ''killed'' him in at least one timeline (which he may be aware of). In this timeline though, they managed to work together alongside the others, expose Hongou, and escape. Then, from Junpei's perspective, she disappeared about a year later and he likely heard nothing about her for 45 years. Then, after agreeing to Zero's request to see Akane at Rhizome 9, he meets Clover again and finds she hasn't aged a day. Yet he still fully trusts her, not only because she has no reason to take on the Zero identity or start another Nonary Game, but because he doesn't hold anything against her and still considers her a friend even after her disappearance almost half a century earlier.]]
* A meta example from the very last golden file, especially given the history of the series following this game's release: [[spoiler: "[[ThankingTheViewer Thank you for playing, and we hope you enjoyed the game!]]" It would be the last we hear from the developers until [[VisualNovel/ZeroTimeDilemma four years later...]]]]

* Quark's letter to Sigma, which details his [[HappilyAdopted relationship]] with Tenmyouji.

** A HeartwarmingInHindsight moment comes after playing through ''VisualNovel/ZeroTimeDilemma''. [[spoiler:The ring Akane wears? It was given to her by Junpei during the Decision Game, and she's worn it ever since, on the wrong hand, even after erasing Junpei's memories.]]
