"Don't Forget" has Emiko crawling out of a TV, terrifying the man who was watching it... then she runs past him, out of his house and to Erma's school bus stop, so she can give her the bagged lunch she forgot at home which establishes her character right off the bat.
When Felicia sees Erma's bummed about being unable to scare her, she cheers her up by suggesting she spook the pizza guy.
After Erma gets tuckered out, Felicia tucks her in. It's clear that while this is their first night together, they've already bonded.
A halloween strip has Erma noticing how sad Felicia seems from having to act as an escort for her and her friends trick or treating and missing out on a party. She then brings the group to a cemetery where she knocks on a tombstone somehow raising the dead with a zombie reaching it's hand to Felicia... for a dance. The group then has their own little graveyard jamboree to make it up to Felicia.
This comic has Erma joining some ghosts who are enjoying a Christmas party before paying visits to their still-living loved ones.
During a game of dodgeball during gym class, everyone chooses to be on the team Erma's leading, leaving Amy on her own. The coach says that at least one person has to join Amy's team. Who volunteers? Erma.
In the following strip, we have Felicia telling Erma that it's perfectly okay for her to like a child's show and its toys and suggests watching an episode of Warrior Unicorn Princess with Erma, who soon falls asleep while leaning on her. D'aww.
"Sleep Floating": No matter how far and how high Erma drifts away, Emiko is there to bring her daughter home.
Down To Clown: Erma killing Pennywise so that Georgie isn't hurt.
The Recounted Days 3/4 has Sam performing recorded interviews with Emiko's family, and they're all forthcoming. And then he reaches Rin, and when she reveals she doesn't live next to the water due to an event, he turns off the recorder and offers to just keep what she wants to say between them. She accepts, and he doesn't reveal what she said in his writings, just that she told him and he could hardly bear it.
And keep in mind that Rin tried to kill Sam the first time they met, which wasn’t that long before said interview. Truly, the man is on a level of chill and understanding that most humans can never be on.
While everyone else tries to force Mayumi to interact Erma is the only one to quietly go see what she is doing and join her. As a result, Mayumi warms up quickly to her niece, and the two end up spending a ton of time together.
Every other yokai in the village is terrified of Osamu Yurimoto. To do anything but obey him is shocking to family and servants alike. Yet when he picks up her daughter and she has no idea what he'll do to her, Emiko had to be restrained as she flies into a rage and tries to attack her father to stop him from hurting her baby.
Sam is a bit more restrained in his emotions, but he too has to be held back from going towards Osamu by Yori.
After something like three whole chapters of tension, Osamu ends up being a doting grandfather, complete with "Give your grandfather a hug," much to the absolute shock of everybody present.
After seeing Mitsu and Momo act like two absolute little brats the entire time they've been shown, there is something endearing about them latching onto their grandmother like any other excited children, and for the old woman who had looked at Erma like something scraped off the bottom of her shoe just smiles at her other grandchildren's attention.
Osamu sits and has a friendly conversation with Sam, even pretty much stating that he respects the mortal man for taking responsibility for raising Erma and commends him for his strong soul.
Uncle Kentaro has a secret: he’s a fan of Unicorn Warrior Princess. His niece walks in, and wordlessly assures him he isn’t alone. Cue the two of them sharing huge grins as they share what they love.
The Christmas Special 2022 is simply... Special.
Erma visits her friend Sylvia for some fun, only to find out she's a bigger fan of Warrior Unicorn Princess than her, and immediately the two become bigger friends over their shared interest. Sylvia even gives Erma a spare crown for her, which she immediately shows an appreciative hug for.
Erma overhears Sylvia's parents dismay of being unable to find the Unicorn Warrior Princess Sword for Sylvia for christmas, and Sylvia herself knowing how it's more than likely not gonna happen. Erma's response? Go to the North Pole and get it for her herself.
Despite the mishaps at the North Pole from running from Santa, she ultimately fails to get the sword for Sylvia. Until Christmas morning, it's revealed that Santa and Mrs. Claus realize the efforts she was willing to go for her friend in getting the sword for her, not only give Erma one sword, but two to share. Erma and her family then go to Sylvia's home to deliver the present and Sylvia can hardly contain herself and thanks Erma with a sweet hug. The special ends with both girls ready to fight the snow monsters with their swords together.
The Letter features Sam caring for baby Erma, who is exactly as adorable as you might expect, along with a letter from Sam's deceased father.

Reunion's End part 4 has a genuine bonding moment for Erma with Mitsu and Momo as the two of them reveal to her the reason for their behavior was due to being bullied by the Yokai Kids. Turns out they can be almost as nice as Erma with Momo even giving Erma a well needed hug which Mitsu decides to join in on. Even Yori is shown to be moved at seeing them getting along like this.
Reunion's End part 5 has Kentaro reassuring Erma and giving her a bag full of Wup merchandise, which she appreciates the gesture and gives her uncle a hug out of appretiation. Made even better when you realize kentaro has only known he has a Wupper niece for less than a week. He's been accounted for for most of that time, so he couldn't have gone off to buy all that merch, particularly the signed one. That means he must have taken it from his own collection.
Just before they step through the portal back to the car, Mayumi stops the family and breaks her silence to give Erma a music box she bought at the market, hoping that it provides comfort to Erma much as the one Emiko gave Mayumi did. Mayumi follows up with giving Emiko a big hug, and even Fumiko seems happy with the outcome.
After a long trip and many trials, Erma finally returns home and gets the best possible gift she could have: a warm welcome from all her friends who are glad to see her back with them.
