* From Nekomonogatari: White, after Hanekawa's house is burned down she decides to stay at the abandoned school Oshino used to live in (she later admits she was probably so shocked from losing the house that she wasn't thinking clearly). Come very early next morning and Senjougahara frantically wakes Hanekawa, having spent the entire night searching the town for her. This is also one of the very few times in the series where we ever see ''[[CryCute Senjougahara really lose her cool]]''. The Middlesome Cat has also become very much a lot less aggressive becoming laidback, kind, friendly, nice and though she got caught by Senjougahara she doesn't attack her and ends up making a very adorable face and acting like a scared cat and after she calms down she accepts a cloth from Senjougahara so that she can wipe the dirt off its feet so that they don't end up being on the floor showing herself to be very polite and has a friendly conversation with Senjougaha and later on all by herself she is greeted by Shinobu and they have a nice conversation compared to the previous times they meet each other and even Black Hanekawa offers to take Shinobu somewhere else even holding her up on her arms like carrying a child which makes one of the most adorable scenes ever seen.

** Kaiki, in a roundabout way, agrees to help Senjougahara [[spoiler: deceive Nadeko and stop her from killing Araragi, Shinobu and Senjougahara]] for much less than he was originally planning to charge because he genuinely wants to help her.
** Senjougahara admitting without second thought that she would rather save Araragi's life than her own if she had to choose, and would even [[spoiler: sell her own body in order to make the money needed to do so]] despite her traumatizing past.
** After Kaiki tells Senjougahara that [[spoiler: Araragi's life will be spared from Nadeko's wrath]], Senjougahara, who had up until that point had been mostly extremely cold and abrasive towards the man, gets up to leave for the bathroom [[spoiler: and comes back minutes later fresh from crying from relief to give him an uncharacteristically heart-wrenching and sincere thanks]].

** The speech Kaiki delivers to [[spoiler: Snake God Nadeko]] in order to convince her to give up godhood. One part [[ReasonYouSuckSpeech a good scolding]] and two parts... actually pretty inspiring: he tells her that the goals and talents she has are not embarrassing, convinces her that she's worth much more than Araragi's affection and pleads for her to try different things in life in order to find happiness. All things she can only do as a human. [[spoiler: And it works]].
