* Maria and Max at the end of chapter 2.
* Max is generally very kind to the mutated children of Genet, some of who could definately use a hug (though he is less kind to the ones who could use a slap).
** One very small detail; Max asks permission before taking a shovel from a little girl that he needs for a puzzle.
* Reuniting the lonely woman with her friend Crag in Chapter 3 [[spoiler: Even if he's just the reflection of a gargoyle.]]
* The ending of chapter 4 [[spoiler:when Sarah says goodbye to Max and gives him some much needed affirmation]] (though that doesn't stop it from being creepy at the same time).
* Morgan's Last Game. [[spoiler:Olmec, Grimwall and Sarah encouraging and saying goodbye to Max.]]
--> [[spoiler: Sarah: "You're my hero. I love you."]]
* [[spoiler: Max being reunited with his wife at the end of the game, plus the picture that's seen during the end credits.]]
* In chapter four, [[AmnesiacHero Max]] is transported into a CircusOfFear, where he's turned into his dead little sister Sarah. [[spoiler: He eventually finds his way to a haunted house, where he is confronted by ghosts of himself and his family. After correcting [[MyGreatestFailure his greatest failure]] (not being able to find his sister's favorite toy), he finally gives it to her. Suddenly, Max is back to normal, Sarah's ghost is fully formed, and her sepia-tone room becomes bright and vibrant as Max finally gets over his grief and hugs her.]]
* The two cutscenes where Sara interacts with Spanky the Clown are cute, albeit odd. Sara whispering "thank you" at the end only adds to the charm.
