* A strange one would be if Bigby kills The Crooked Man before the trial, if the player chooses to leave the courtroom then Bigby will call out on all the citizens actions and how they complain to Bigby and Snow despite how much the pair try to help (in his words "we've been through hell trying to keep you all safe and to make you all fucking happy but all you do is complain, so fuck this!"). It's heartwarming because he finally stands up for himself and makes his own decision, but it's also tearjerking considering how the story has effected him.

* All of [[spoiler: Faith]] and Bigby's interactions are rife with this, which hammers [[spoiler: her death home even further.]]
** Bigby can give [[spoiler: Faith]] money after his fight with Woodsman. It's the first of the big moral choices in Episode 1, and currently almost ''90%'' of players have emptied their pockets for [[spoiler: Faith]].

** If you were supportive of Woody throughout the game, he and Bigby smacking around the JerseyDevil can lead to them sharing a smoke and a friendly "See you around."
*** Bigby can even inquire if Woody is going to be OK [[spoiler: since the hooker he loved is dead and her family and friends hate him.]]

** And vice versa.



* On a meta-level with the "choices statistics" at the end of Episode 2, very few of the players picked the "asshole choices" (as opposed to episode 1, where some of the choices were more ambiguous). At the time of this writing, the majority of Episode 2 players chose [[spoiler:not to torment the suspect (62%), to comfort Crane about Snow's death rather than accuse him of not caring about her (65%), to let Snow come with them to Trip Tap (91%), to not hit Georgie (77%), and to not hit Beast a second time while he was down (81%)]]. It's sort of a "restored my faith in humanity" moment.
** A little ambiguous with Crane considering [[spoiler:his feelings for Snow White.]]
*** Less so if you consider that first-time players won't know about that yet if they haven't been spoiled beforehand.



* The beginning of Episode 2 has the moments with Crane which portray him as someone who deep down really did care for Snow White and has a HiddenHeartOfGold [[spoiler: ... [[SubvertedTrope until you find out that he's linked to the murders, and has a stalker crush on Snow.]]]]
* During the investigation at the Trip Trap (if chosen) during Episode 3, Bigby can [[spoiler: use it as an excuse to check up on how Holly and Gren are doing after the Tweedles shot them, having a mild heart-to-heart with a nigh-comatose Holly in which he tells her he wants to see Lily get the justice she deserves]]. With as much as [[TheWoobie Holly has been through]] to that point, it's touching to hear her even say "I'll take it". If the player instead opts to say he's doing it for Faith, she smiles and commends him on being honest with her (since Bigby never met her sister to begin with).
** Earlier in that same scene, you can also choose to have Bigby drink a toast to Lily and Faith's memory with Grendel and The Woodsman, the former of whom is actually ''nice'' to Bigby for a change. Granted, he's mixing alcohol with enchanted painkillers at the time, but still, the mere fact that Gren is willing at all to share a drink with the same guy he was fighting with just two nights ago (and who may or may not have [[spoiler: ripped his arm off]]) speaks volumes in itself.

** On a meta level, over ''97 percent'' of players choosing this option. It's one of the most unanimous decisions in Telltale ''history''.



* The situation itself is far from touchy-feely, but Woody [[spoiler: coming to Bigby's aid in his fight against]] the Jersey Devil, is pretty heartwarming, considering their usual hostility.
* Bigby's relationship with Colin can be this in Episode 4. He's obviously concerned that Bigby was [[spoiler: nearly killed by Bloody Mary]], and even after Snow demands he be sent back to the Farm, Bigby can refuse to do so, stating that "he wouldn't do that to his friend."

* During episode 5 right before [[spoiler:Colin is sent to the farm]] he'll ask Bigby for a smoke. If the player wants to they can give him their whole pack, which is enough to mend their friendship even if Bigby and [[spoiler:Colin]] haven't been getting along too well over the past few episodes. Note that, of course, this scene only happens in the first place if [[spoiler:you didn't choose not to send him to the farm in the first place]].
* Vivian's [[spoiler:[[HeroicSacrifice decision to set the girls free from the curse of their ribbons by removing hers, dying in the process]]]]. Doubles as a major tearjerker.
* During [[spoiler: The Crooked Man's trial]], if you chose mainly "good" options (didn't beat the tar out of Beast and Gren, gave Aunty Greenleaf a job etc), then the citizens rally behind you against him and his manipulations.
** Should you choose to employ Aunty Greenleaf and [[spoiler:imprison the Crooked Man]], Bigby will see her in the epilogue, looking actually happy.

* If you manage to play your cards accordingly,[[FriendtoAllChildren Bigby's interactions with children in the game]] can become this. For example, when TJ has to testify for finding Lily's missing body dumped in the river, you can be very gentle with him, and tell him proudly at the end that he did good, which is then prompted by a message saying "TJ will remember that". Or when meeting Rachel, you can try to make her comfortable by playfully teasing her, and she will do it back. Tease. The. Big. Bad. Wolf. Yep, gives you all the right fuzzies.
