* Basically any sisterly scene between Luca and Cloche, both before and after they learn that Cloche is Leyka.

* Basically any sisterly scene between Luca and Cloche, both before and after they learn that Cloche is Leyka. One standout moment among those is Luca and Cloche wanting to retrieve a memento of Reisha from her grave and Cloche, who had celebrated her birthday on what was really Luca's, finding out that her true birthday was that day courtesy of Luca secretly finding out from Reisha before she died and preparing a gift for her. It comes full circle when Cloche again gives Luca her original birthday gift from back in Phase 1 that Luca destroyed in a fit of rage, but Cloche still held on to.

* It's not apparent on a first playthrough, but Frelia asking Shun if he's Enja becomes one in hindsight. Despite Shun no longer having a human form and the two not seeing each other for hundreds of years, Frelia never forgot him.

* It's not apparent on a first playthrough, but Frelia asking Shun if he's Enja becomes one in hindsight. Despite Shun no longer having a human form and the two not seeing each other for hundreds of years, Frelia never forgot him. And how did she recognize him even in a new body? She recognized his personal tics of how he would look beyond her rather than at her when talking to her.

* Croix learning Jacqli's true name, Mir. While more willing to open up to the group, Mir still couldn't completely open up because of her personal dilemmas in the past. Willing to tell Croix her real name is a sign that she truly trust him to know who she really is and what's even better is that Croix begins to refer her by her real name afterwards in her route.

* Infel giving last-minute encouragement to Cloche when she starts to slip up singing the song to create Metafalica. Deep down, while Infel may have had her ulterior motives and used her, she still cared about Cloche's well-being enough to put her trust on her despite her doubt that she can succeed.

* Amarie and Leglius reconciling after the battle between the Sacred Army and the Grand Bell has ended. It's shown that behind Leglius' dutiful personality, he had a soft spot for Amarie and cares about her despite being a Sacred Army spy. He also admits that she reminds him of his deceased daughter. Amarie's also endearing enough to make the battleworn knight actually smile, something that's rarely seen in the game.

* With the mechanics of Hymmnos in play, the fact that two humans, Reisha and Croix, use Hymmnos to convey their feelings the way Reyvateils do. In a technical sense it shouldn't be effective, but the effort they put into learning the language and utilizing it for others is what makes it powerful and touching.
