Sandra contacts Crystal telepathically, telling her once again that, whatever she is doing, ''"It won't work"'', but that she wants to make everything right again with her, as she is no longer looking for a fight, is truly repentant, and is carrying an injured Sam with her. Except this time, Crystal doesn't trust her]].
* ''Webcomic/AskFriskAndCompany'' has a rather [[Heartwarming/AskFriskAndCompany heartwarming]] example in its first arc. Near the beginning, Frisk was too scared to ask Kid out after they [[AnythingThatMoves uncharacteristically]] [[ObliviousToLove missed that he was flirting with them]]. Sans shows them an encouraging message from [[FourthWallMailSlot an asker]] and provided some encouraging words of his own: "there's a lot of people out there who believe in you kiddo. ''you've'' just gotta believe in you. ...ya know? i hope that made sense." Towards the end of the arc, after Sans had been [[DemonicPossession possessed by Chara]] and forced to [[MindRape relive all his worst nightmares]] to the point of breaking, a large swarm of askers chimed in with [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre plenty of pep talk]] and Frisk returned the earlier favor. "There's a lot of people out there who believe in you Sans. You've just gotta believe in you. ...ya know? I hope that made sense." Sans heard everything and [[TearsOfJoy tearfully]] mused, "[[LampshadeHanging ...yeah kid. it's starting to.]]"
* At the start of ''Webcomic/LucidSpring'''s prologue, Viktor, hallucinating vividly and panicking, calls Repa an "unforgiving hell forest." Toward the end of the prologue when we can see in detail what Pacem and Viktor are seeing and find that it's aptly named, Pacem shouts, "[[{{Determinator}} We are not]] ''[[{{Determinator}} DYING...]]'' IN THIS ''UNFORGIVING HELL FOREST!!''"
