1	* When Travis is in his apartment, there's the option to play with {{Cute Kitten}} Jeane. This has no impact on the story, but seeing Travis petting, feeding, and playing with Jeane shows that despite his {{JerkAss}} attitude and love of fighting, he genuinely loves his little kitty.
2	* After fighting Dr. Peace, Travis places Peace's microphone in his hands after stating that it's "Open Mic Night" in Hell.
3	* Travis spares Shinobu for a variety of reasons. First, she's a high school student and he has a policy to not kill a child. Second, he learned fighting techniques through her father's videos and spared her life as respect to his work. And three, he hopes that she grows up and they have a true spar. While Sylvia questions this act of charity, this ends up working in Travis's favor later in the game.
4	* After the fight with Holly Summers, [[spoiler: Travis insists on asking for her name -- as he only knew her as "Number 6" -- and he buries her body.]] Seeing Travis begin to drop his arrogant attitude is one of the first turning points in the game.
5	-->'''Travis:''' ''(hugging Holly's headless body, solemnly)'' Forgive me Number Six...I never meant to shame you.\
6	'''Travis:''' ''(burying Holly's body)'' Forgive me Holly, I was too late in saying this, but I love your soul... Rest in Peace.
7	** Even before that scene, Travis ''realizes'' what Holly [[DrivenToSuicide was going]] [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled to do]] and tries, in vain, to stop her. This is one of the few times that Travis decides to actually empathize with the assassins and begins a turning point to his development in the second game.
8	* Despite [[spoiler:having killed Thunder Ryu]], Speed Buster takes her defeat with grace and states that Travis is going to become as good as [[spoiler:Ryu]]. She gives Travis a kiss on the cheek before he beheads her as a parting gift.
9	* Travis telling [[spoiler:Bad Girl]] she won in a strange version of LetThemDieHappy, especially since she gives a small giggle before collapsing on top of Travis.
10	* Travis reconciliation with [[spoiler: Jeane, right before she allows him to kill her.]]
11	** Prior to that, Shinbou appears and rescues Travis from [[spoiler:Jeane]] probably as appreciation for sparing her.
12	* In a strange way, the ending. After beating the TrueFinalBoss, [[spoiler:his half-brother Henry]], and having a crazy bunch of revelations {{infodump}}ed on him, he reiterates his desperate urge to bail and find the exit from the beginning of the game. This time, however, he accepts that he can't. As [[spoiler:Henry]] says, all they can do is keep running, so they have one final clash. This could have been a DownerEnding, implying that the only way out is to kill each other, but the existence of sequels paints this ending in a more uplifting tone. Travis finally realizes escapism is not the answer to his problems, so he resolves to face them head-on.
