Heartwarming / The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana

• Paola's dedication to her husband. It's made clear that Yambo has never been faithful, but she still loves him after decades of marriage.
• Gragnola sending Yambo back home after they help the Cossacks through the Gorge, killing two Germans in cold blood and narrowly evading the other pursuers in the process. Gragnola's trip back would have been easier if he had Yambo as a guide, but by then he knew the kid had seen way more than he could handle.
• Yambo's reaction to his dying vision of Lila. He dismisses its angelic, overly sexual version in favor of how she really looked.
