  • Abe Eiko's behavior towards Yui changes noticeably after she deduces she was part of the Dark Side (even if she clearly has none of the details). She's much more patient with her, offering her suggestions and rewards for coming along instead of just bullying her into everything. It's clear that, despite her many problems, she can be strongly empathetic.
    She reached out and squeezed my arm. I prepared to electrify her if she continued in this line of assault. "It'll be okay," she told me. "It gets... a bit easier with time. You know?"
    I did not know. We do not understand many of the things Abe Eiko does.
    "I'll try to be a bit nicer," she said. "Do... do you want a hug?"
    "'No,' Misaka says firmly," I said firmly.
    "Yeah. Yeah. Sure thing."
  • Yui's meeting with Mikoto is mostly funny, but there are definitely some adorable moments. Such as when Mikoto finds out that she's chosen a name for herself.
    She patted me on the shoulder. "Well, it's a very nice name," she said. "Good on you."
    My chest and face felt warm despite the large amount of ice cream I had just eaten. This is a sensation we have felt before when the original interacts with us. It is a good feeling. We like it when she is nice to us. She is the best big sister we have ever had. We are not surprised the delusional Shirai Kuroko refers to her in such a manner.
  • Abe Eiko carefully gets Aino Sumiko and Koizumi Kyoko out of the way during the attack on the mall so that their innocence won't be shattered.
  • While Yui isn't in love with Touma like 10032, the entire Network is still happy to see him, especially when he offers to protect them again.
    "Get back!" Kamijou Touma shouts at me. "I'll keep you safe!" He squares his shoulders, and balls his hands into fists. "You've got what you want. If you want to get out of here, just go! Don't go after people who haven't hurt you."
    The Network feels happy. Kamijou Touma has just declared that he is willing to protect us again.
  • In her "guest entry," Mikoto recommends the clones ask questions if they don't understand. After the attack, the first thing Yui does is ask Eiko why their flatmates are being weird. This is first time she explicitly asks anyone for help.
