* Episode 12 itself. Ninny's story is adapted in the 2019 animation. When her aunt abused and neglected her, Ninny sent a note calling for help before she fades away completely. It goes worse when Moomintroll didn't listen and attempted to take Ninny back to her home. It obviously backfired. Nice going, Moomintroll.
--> '''Ninny's aunt:''' I never wanted to look after her in the first place.
** And just before the happy ending, Too-Ticky gave Moomintroll a merciful warning that Ninny isn't the only one who needs someone to listen to. Then cut to the open winter landscape of Moominvalley… followed by a shot of [[{{Foreshadowing}} Snufkin walking in the forest is seen]] before the credits roll.
--> '''Too-Ticky:''' I have some good friends Ninny can stay with. But I need you to keep listening for me, Moomintroll. There are other lost souls out there that need to be heard.

Added DiffLines:

* While Little My acts as an aggressive person who (intentionally) mistreats Moomin for a reason, she does envy Moomintroll of having a room that he alone could have. Mostly because she had to cram herself with her siblings and find a space where she could have a time on her own.


Added DiffLines:

* Before the ghost bids farewell to Moomintroll, he asked the later if they're best friends. Moomintroll tearfully says yes.
* Snufkin's NightmareSequence. The episode shows Snufkin's characterization in the new series; while he is the same calm character, he also shows his flaws and fears. His nightmare involved returning to Moominvalley so he could reunite with Moomintroll. Even though there are obstacles along the way, like the roots and branches restraining Snufkin while having his treasured harmonica get snatched by an owl, he stays determined to see his friend again. When he arrived to Moomintroll's house, a voice mocked him that no one remembered Snufkin because he's been out for a long time. And when he tried to reach out to Moomintroll, he learned that his friend replaced him. The way Snufkin woke up in panic makes the viewer have sympathy for the traveler.
--> '''Unknown voice:''' It's no use. No one will remember you here. You've been gone too long, Snufkin!

Added DiffLines:

* The death of the squirrel in ''Moominland Midwinter.'' This scene is actually so upsetting that Tove Jansson added an author's note about how, if the reader begins crying, to take a peek towards the end of the book... where Moomin meets an identical-looking squirrel and wonders if it's the same squirrel who somehow survived anyway.
* The Lighthouse-Keeper's background story, as deduced by Moomin, in ''Moominpappa at Sea''. After finding several long-dead birds on the ground, and discovering many small graves (which Little My confirms are the graves of birds), Moomintroll understands why the Lighthouse-keeper left: The birds flew towards the light and died when hitting the glass. The Lighthouse-Keeper buried them, but more birds would eventually fly into the light... eventually, the Lighthouse-keeper couldn't take it anymore and left.
