* All of Cuba’s interactions with Nada. He’s clearly strong enough to go through the Games without an ally, but devotes much of his time and energy towards protecting and supporting the weaker tribute. A few examples of their friendship:
** He tries to comfort her when she’s visibly nervous before the interviews, reminding her of the fun they had in the parade and reassuring her she'll do fine.
** He not only helps Nada escape the bloodbath, but tries to help Shaye get away as well.
** Finally, he abandons his battle with Rica to help her escape the other Careers, enabling her to survive but [[spoiler: getting himself killed]] in the process.
* Turk letting Romania into his alliance rather than killing her after [[DefeatMeansFriendship defeating her in a fistfight.]] He also becomes noticeably upset when [[spoiler: she is killed.]]
* The short-lived but sweet friendship between Anissa and Zavann, especially their talks about their hobbies and bittersweet remembrance of Florry.
* Yao’s reason for [[spoiler: sparing Riben]] – the boy physically resembles his own younger sibling, [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Ju]], who he wishes was as innocent as [[spoiler: Riben]] still is.
* Riben’s observations on the relationship between Ermine and Italo. Despite Ermine’s cold and critical attitude towards him most of the time, the way she speaks of him with such love and admiration when he’s not around – going so far as to cite his persistence as inspiration for her own tenacity – reveals a far more tender side to her.

* A minor one, right near the beginning – Ise’s father promising his son that he won’t think any less of him if he kills to get home. Considering this is the same man who [[spoiler: not only cheated on his wife but then abandoned his pregnant girlfriend and unborn child,]] it’s nice to see a bit of humanity and genuine love out of him.

* Another subtle one – Magya gently rubbing Osso’s shoulder after the rest of the Career pack deserts them, along with their mutual, somewhat wistful, realization that it’s the most affection they can show for each other in the situation. It’s a lovely little nod to [[OfficialCouple the characters' canon relationship]] in ''Hetalia''.

* Sve volunteering in order to protect Finni. "You will not die."
* Natalya's flashback to her and Vahn's childhood. Especially in a world as bleak as Panem, it's very touching to see her parents give as much money as necessary to save an orphan they don't even know, then raise him as their own son, all out of the goodness of their hearts.
* Slightly invalidated by everything that happens between them later, but Young!Rome protecting Young!Ania from an overzealous tribute on her first day of training is quite sweet.
* Eston accepting Raivis' adorably awkward offer to be his ally.
* Laine and Meghna's short-lived friendship, which begins when they both start singing a children's song together in training.
* One that we never get to see in the core series, only hear about—Amer volunteering in place of his brother.
* Eston standing up to Vahn—twice—to stop him from killing or maiming Raivis. The first of these occasions seems to be the moment their friendship is cemented—keep in mind that he's got nothing to gain and everything to lose by confronting a much larger and much more heavily-armed tribute for his ally's sake.
