Main Series

    Chapter 1: Lonely Wolf Treat 
  • The moment Mochi confirms that Treat doesn't eat rabbits, she instantly becomes friendly to her, and she's even grateful for helping her scare off Moxie. This simple moment would kickstart the sweet friendship (and later Relationship Upgrade) between Treat and Mochi.
  • After quietly suffering Juju's crap for most of the game, Treat finally finds the courage to shut Juju up when Juju starts going after Mochi instead of her. Treat may be an Extreme Doormat, but she will always protect her friends.
  • Treat goes from being starving and lonely to eating a delicious meal with a new friend. At the end of the game, she has a warm smile on her face as she watches Mochi leave.

    Chapter 2: Friendly Bunny Mochi 
  • Mochi has been holding curry nights for the foxes and visiting Treat regularly for three weeks, despite her cousin Juju's objection. Mochi sure wasn't kidding about making an effort to better the relationship between rabbits and predators.
  • A subtle one in Treat's Big Damn Heroes moment: She immediately rushed out into the cold weather without grabbing her winter clothes. That's how dedicated she was to saving Juju from being eaten.

    Chapter 3: Clever Fox Moxie 
  • When Moxie finally gets paid, the first thing she does with her money is pay for Treat's groceries. And this is after Treat nearly scares away Moxie's guests by showing up unexpectedly.
  • If Moxie goes back and talks to Mousse again after the scene at the hot springs, the guardsman actually offers her a few words of comfort and assures her that he doesn't blame her for Frosting's current situation.

    Chapter 4: Wandering Wolf Trick 
  • The fact that Trick's master encouraged them to find other wolves and live with them. He might have abandoned them for his own reasons, but at least he made sure they wouldn't be left all alone when he did.
  • Trick says goodbye to Treat in a Meaningful Echo of when Treat said goodbye to Trick before running away, and despite being saddened by Trick's departure, Treat is able to see them off with a smile.
  • Nami's message to her fans at the end of the original game's credits.
    i hope you all have a good day tomorrow too.

    Chapter 5: Dreaming Treat 
  • Mochi has finally recovered from her funk and is back to her cheerful Genki Girl self.
  • Trick remains in touch with Treat and Mochi, and regularly sends postcards from their adventures.
  • Examining the various things in Treat's cabin reveals just how comfortable Treat and Mochi are living together. In particular, Treat notes how fun it was when they drew portraits of each other one time.
  • This game goes on to show just how many friends Treat has made since coming to Frosting, with Nougat, Nutmeg, Gumdrop, and Syrup all being happy to see her. Even Danny takes a liking to Treat after seeing how well she and Mochi have been living together.
  • If you try going to Moxie's hidden tent, Treat will refuse to do that because she promised Moxie not to tell Mochi about her homelessness to avoid worrying her, even if Treat thinks Keeping Secrets Sucks.
  • The Complete Series adds a sidequest where Treat befriends the witch Angelica, who also has two girlfriends. Treat tells Angelica that she feels hopeful for her own relationship goals upon seeing another polycule, and Angelica promises to cheer Treat on when she goes to confess to Mochi.
  • If you interact with the cat person with bluish hair at the bottom of the marketplace, they will think Mochi's in trouble because of Treat. Of course, Mochi immediately clarifies the situation, and the cat person apologizes. It's not much, but at least they didn't make a big fuss over it, and even accepted that the two live together with no hesitation.

    Chapter 6: Mochi in Frosting 
  • Despite all the hell they go through during the first half of the game, Treat and Mochi are still happy to have each other, and the game ends on a happy note as the two spend the evening just relaxing together.
    • Annie and May deserve special mention for being there for the two, and making sure Treat is taken care of while Mochi goes into Frosting to find out who wrecked their garden.
  • Examining Mochi's bed reveals that Danny helped Mochi move into Treat's house after Mochi left Frosting. Keep in mind that this happened long before Danny apologized to Treat for how they treated her, indicating that despite everything, they knew they could trust Treat to take care of Mochi. Jerk with a Heart of Gold, indeed.
  • Although she ended up ruining her relationship with Mochi even further with her selfishness, Juju gets her moment of defending her cousin from a rabbit who picked a fight with her. She's also genuinely appalled by the garden accident and considers it too far.
    • Another minor, easy to miss moment is when you interact with the picture in Treat's cabin. Juju will comment that it's tacky, Mochi objects then Juju defends herself by saying she wasn't saying anything bad about Treat. This is the only time in the whole game where Juju refers to Treat by name, meaning that she's taking Mochi's rule of "no badmouthing Treat" seriously.

    Chapter 7: Lucky Number Moxie 
  • The first thing Moxie finds after coming downstairs is a note from her boss, letting her know that she got Moxie her favorite blueberry yogurt.
  • Moxie happily exclaiming "Hey, it's my girlfriends!!" upon seeing Treat and Mochi enter the store. It's one of those rare, precious moments where Moxie shows genuine joy and excitement without having to put on a facade.
  • Mochi goes through another crisis after learning that her uncle Mango is still alive, but cheers up after doing some cathartic screaming off a cliff. She and Moxie then proceed to have some fun screaming at the mountains and listening to the echo, and encourage Treat to join them. And what does Treat yell?
    Treat: I LOVE MY GIRLFRIENDS!!! (girlfriends!) (girlfriends!) -
  • Treat and Mochi are both listed as "Girlfriend" in their bios, but Moxie is listed as either "Part-timer" or "Sassy Leader". After Moxie receives the bracelet from Mochi, her title changes to "Girlfriend", indicating she finally feels accepted as a member of the trio's relationship.
  • When Treat finally returns to Vanilla, she runs over to her parents and they immediately pull her into a tearful Group Hug. There is no scolding and no resentment, just pure joy and relief at seeing their daughter alive and well.

    Chapter 8: Trick Comes Home: Part 1 
  • The real reason behind Trick's master Myrrh abandoning them is finally revealed: he was one of the authors of the All-in-one Book of Lore series, a series known In-Universe as controversial and possibly perpetuated the racism observed in this world. Upon realizing their mistake, Myrrh set out to meet up with his coauthors to talk about a retraction and apology for the public. The effort he's putting in to see this through is amazing to see.
    • And to think, in the midst of all this trouble having to live Off the Grid, Myrrh never once neglected Trick because of it, and as mentioned above, made sure they're not alone before leaving. It's bittersweet for sure because Trick is still crushed by it in the present day, but it worked out in the end.
  • This chapter also gives us a peek into Trick's life with Myrrh growing up as we explore his cabin for the first time. From the drawings to the closely placed beds to the photo they got together, it's safe to say they had a lot of fun and good times in this cabin.

Other

    DATE TREAT 
  • April Fools jokes aside, Date Treat is a heartwarming story about Treat rescuing the player from the snow, letting them rest in her cabin, sharing curry with them, and even letting them live with her if she finds out they can't go back home. And then there's some of the endings...
    • In the Normal ending, Treat happily says goodbye to the player and tells them to come visit sometime.
    • In the Mochi ending, the player turns out to be Mochi, who initially came to the cabin to prank Treat, but gets nervous and outs herself upon realizing how gullible Treat is. Treat forgives her, because she thinks it was Actually Pretty Funny.
    • In the Toffee ending, the player turns out to be Toffee, who came to prank Treat as part of Syrup's plan to help everyone become better friends. Treat is just happy that there are people who want to be friends with her. It's even better when you remember that Toffee used to be afraid of Treat.
  • Date Trick is an incredibly sweet story in general, with Trick and the player just hanging out, enjoying each other's company, and getting to know each other. Two of the three endings are straight-up happy endings, and even in the joke ending, the angry player assures Trick that it is not them that they're angry at.

    another piece of candy 
  • The very first Story Arc revolves around Mochi visiting Atelier Sweets and when she can't decide what to buy, Gumdrop unintentionally scared her by suggesting bunny-shaped candy. Moxie steps in to protect Mochi, and demands free candy. Though nothing comes of it since Pastille hung a "No Dogs Allowed" sign and the two were forced to leave, it was still a nice gesture on Moxie's part.
    • The sweetness continue when Treat shows up, intending to enter the store but she sees the sign and sits down on the street instead. Mochi and Moxie find her and question why she's sitting there. Treat brings up the sign, and Moxie says that the wolf girl should've assumed it was fine since she was in there. Treat responds that foxes are not dogs, and Moxie is immensely touched by this, since it's exactly what she said moments prior when Pastille hung up the sign.
  • Treat tells us about her type.
  • Snow angels, indeed.
  • Technically, she didn't say no...
  • Picnic for four.
