Chapter 7
- Undine's training and growing friendship with Kokoro. Kokoro gives her good advice and is very supportive.
- Undine tells Kokoro about the purple girl —the first time she's told another person— and how she feels at fault. Kokoro hugs her and tells her emphatically that it's not her fault.

Chapter 11
- Zoe says Undine and Heartful Punch are "both pretty amazing". Since Undine has been plagued by self-doubt and Heroic Self-Deprecation about her powers, it's sweet to see someone look up to her and praise her in the same breath as Heartful Punch.
Chapter 13
- Rue reassures Zoe that it's okay to be afraid and tells her that even if she never fights again, she's officially saved one person, which is more than most people can say. Zoe takes a moment to absorb that and smiles to herself before following Rue, looking at peace for the first time since the start of their conversation, like a weight has been lifted from her.
- When Rue asks Zoe, "No magical girl title yet?", Zoe smiles and says, "…Nah, I'm pretty happy with just this name for now." Knowing that Zoe is trans, this line holds deeper meaning.

Chapter 14
- HP's reason for not formally asking Undine to team up: she can't ask Undine to give up her name of Alchemical Water, which is literally the only thing she has left of Team Alchemical. Even her manager is surprised that Kokoro actually thought it through instead of just opposing the team-up out of I Work Alone inertia.
- Her manager agrees to market it as them teaming up, but keeping their respective names for now. Sure, it's not the greatest for branding, but she's willing to do it because her ultimate goal in getting HP to team up was to keep her safe.
"You know what's really bad for branding? Dead magical girls." - Undine's Adorkable reaction when she learns that fans are sending her letters, enough to fill a bag.

- The Big Damn Kiss.
Chapter 16
- Zoe wants to join the training club, despite being nervous around Heartful Punch. She gets a big boost of confidence in the idea when Undine first lets her know that HP would be thrilled to have her join, then relaying the positive response and calming Zoe that Heartful Punch has her own anxieties just like Zoe (in this case, about not being liked by a random person where HP has no real way of knowing what, if anything, she did wrong).
- HP's pupils often turn into little hearts when seeing/mentioning Undine.

As she lies on the ground just outside the hospital, hospital staff rushing around her and the magic fading from her body, she makes eye contact with Kokoro and smiles, and it's clear she considers it worth it."Sunny, Mitsuki gave up everything for Kokoro. I'm going to protect her."
