The problem comes when she forgets that grieving takes time, and she's too quick to suggest that Sun can get another hamster when her first one is barely in the ground. She gets better when she soberly [[HeelRealization acknowledges]] that she was in the wrong for rushing Kelsey's grieving.

* FlowerMotif: The titular sunflower fittingly represents healing and comfort. Sun helping to grow the sunflower that sprouts from Cookie's grave is meant to encapsulate her healing from her loss, but also taking comfort in Cookie's memory.

* {{Symbolism}}: During their intense confrontation over whether she should replace Cookie or not, Sun has everyone's hamster in her coat, as though representing her bundled up feelings of grief. When they escape from her coat at her declaring she wants to stop feeling awful about losing Cookie, it aptly represents she's finally letting herself feel sad for Cookie's untimely death.
