* When Rick was trying to deal with his anger and resentment at Sleepwalker becoming trapped in his mind, he became cold and distant to his friends, who began considering him a {{Jerkass}}. But when Rick's life falls apart for a second time after [[spoiler:his parents are killed]] and he suffers a nervous breakdown, they come to help him when he needs them the most.
-->'''Julia''': Are you going to be...
-->'''Rick''':...Do you know if they've told Bobby and Leah yet?
-->'''Cyrus''': No, we don’t. They might have, but we haven’t heard anything yet.

** [[spoiler: Red's admiration for Sleepwalker takes a bittersweet tinge when Sleepy's HeroicSacrifice inspires Red to become a Marine, someone who will help the best he can. In honour of the alien who helped humanity the best he could.]]

-->'''Sleepwalker:''' ''I did nothing but adhere to my own personal responsabilities.''
-->'''Bobby Cameron:''' Hey, it meant a lot more than that to Jessica. Without you... God, she didn't even want to think about it. Do you even realize how much it meant to her?
* In a convoluted way, the Bookworm's final fate: [[spoiler: sure, he's crazy without the slightest chance of cure... yet seeing him childishly enjoy his mental world full of dancing princesses and good spirits straight out of a fairy tale is strangely cute.]]
