Cody: You're a mom!...Where's the daddy eagle?
Marahute bows her head sadly.
Cody: Oh. My dad's gone too.
He caresses her as she makes sad sounds.

Asuka took a long, deep breath as he leapt up, dashing away the flood of emotions that Shinji's effortless penetration of the barriers she had erected had brought up. His story of how he had lost his mother was so similar, the skeptical, College educated part of her mind immediacy denied the possibility of a pure coincidence, but she simply didn't know what to think… except that perhaps Shinji Ikari might not be the stuck up, show off jerk she had thought he was…
[Spike] looked up. The humans were all ignoring him, all except one. A human that was looking right at him. It was a female, he could tell, a purple one wearing those weird glass things on her eyes. But even though the glass, he could see her eyes perfectly. And in them, there was pain and loss. It was all so familiar.
She was looking at him, directly locking eyes with him. Could she see it in him? He actually rose to his paws and took a step forward.
The human reacted in kind, striding right up to the glass. Spike stepped forward, dimly realizing that this small human was being flanked by two larger ones, one pink and one white. He got near the glass.
Slowly, the human picked him up just under the forelegs and lifted him to eye level. Then she pulled him close, holding him tightly.''
“Ah, I see you found Spike,” the shelter worker said, a young girl with yellow skin that was about the same age as the human holding him. He recognized her as the one that most often fed him. She was nice, and pretty. “I’m glad you did. The poor thing needs a home.”
“Why is he all alone?” the purple human said.
“Oh, the poor dear. I’m afraid his mother contracted rabies just after she gave birth, and spread it to the litter. He’s the only one that wasn’t infected. We had to put down the others, and he’s all alone.”
“All alone...” There was a pain in her voice. It confirmed Spike’s suspicions. She understood.
— Dog Spike and Sci-Twi’s first meeting, Integration
Katara: I'm sorry about what I said earlier. I didn't know about your father.
Haru: That's okay. It's funny, the way you were talking back in the store? It reminded me of him.
Katara: Thanks.
Haru: My father was very courageous. When the Fire Nation invaded, he and the other earthbenders were outnumbered ten to one. But they fought back anyway.
Katara: He sounds like a great man.
Haru: After the attack, they rounded up my father and every other earthbender and took them away. We haven't seen them since.
Katara: So that's why you hide your earthbending.
Haru: Yeah. Problem is, the only way I can feel close to my father now is when I practice my bending. He taught me everything I know.
Katara: See this necklace? My mother gave it to me.
Haru: It's beautiful.
Katara: I lost my mother in a Fire Nation raid. This necklace is all I have left of her.
Haru: It's not enough, is it?
Katara: No.

Barry: If you are listening, sorry about your parents. I'm just trying to save mine. There has to be a way.
Bruce (Alternate): There is a way, Barry. Just keep trying. Keep trying, Barry.
