Heartwarming / NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD

  • It's made rather ambiguous due to the way the ending is framed, but seeing Ame quit streaming out of her own choice in order to "become a real angel" in the Happy End World ending is shown in a optimistic light, and while the comments on her Twitter feed are baffled or insulting towards her "disappearance" at first, they gradually become nicer and accepting of her "leaving" them and a few even decide to take after her choice and get out of the internet in order to pursue something for themselves. Regardless of where she ends up after the ending, it's definitely portrayed as one of the better fates for her (and her viewers).
  • If you raise Ame's affection high enough by day 23 she will visit her real home on the next day to greet her parents. It's impressive, considering Ame suffered from lots of parental neglect when she was young.
  • The "Save 0" ending where the game plays itself out, eventually accumulating to Ame discarding P-Chan and allowing you to view the "secret.txt" save file. It's nice to see her actually growing out of her psychosis and living on her own accord, no longer needing an Imaginary Friend.
  • Ame sometimes posts positive things in her personal Tweeter account, where she has no need to lie. She muses about things like helping others with her streaming, sympathizing her fans' hardships, making the Internet a more friendly place or living one's life to the fullest in the face of cruel reality. Despite she often fails to live up to whatever she said, she ultimately still desires for self-improvement.

  • KAngel's "I met my biggest fan!" stream can be considered this. Despite Ame's usual anti-social behavior and mental instability and the stream was obviously there to make her look like a good person, it demonstrates that at least she could act like a confident and upbeat personality with little issues. She also shows genuine concern for the little girl when she reveals in a private post that the girl's father asked for her number, hoping that the girl would never know her father was a perverted harasser. Even in the RUN WITH MY SICK manga, where Ame is more unpleasant and unstable, there was a similar incident with a female college student called Noa Amano, with the bonus point being that Ame deliberately done it in private against P's warning on its potentially harmful effect on her image, forfeiting chance to accumulate fame, and forms a genuine friendship with her (though this becomes Tear Jerker when said Noa used her parent's money to become an agency sponsored live streamer and reminded her of what she doesn't have.)
  • Ame once gifted her hard-won rare collection card to a stranger girl in an arcade, because her longing expression made Ame felt so bad.
  • Ignoring its circumstances and implications, the Galactic Express ending sees KAngel get a breather to do some self-reflection and realize that her true happiness was not found in the success of her channel. She thanks the audience, and especially P-Chan, for their support, and ends her streaming career.
  • If Ame's Mental Darkness is very low, a few status-dependent text messages involve her waking up early, throwing out drugs, or eschewing any online or narrative dramas. While she's still dependent on P-Chan to ease her loneliness, and an uninteresting "Normie Life" ending could easily ensue, she is taking initiative to reduce her negative emotions and augment her positive ones.
