* The whole of the Ellimist Chronicles, really. For that one book, he's no longer an ancient, godlike being of mind-boggling power, and really just a very lonely guy just trying to do the best he can to make the universe a little better.

** There's another in the second book, when Rachel (in the form of Melissa Chapman's cat) listens to Melissa cry and feel like her life is falling apart. Rachel obviously can't break cover, but she nuzzles Melissa and purrs and comforts her the best she can. It's another reminder that Rachel really was a good, kind person at the beginning.

--> “Don’t look,” Rachel said to her. She put her arm around Cassie’s shoulder and held her close. Then she reached for Tobias and took his hand. I guess you never really know someone till you see them scared. And even scared to death, with tears running down her face, Rachel had strength to spare.

* Tobias and Ax watching TV together in Ax's scoop. A lot of their POV books focus on their isolation, with their day-to-day lives being difficult and lonely. Knowing they can hang out, be relatively safe, and watch bad TV together while the rest of the team is at school, is really comforting and sweet.
