* Harry and Asta's relationship throughout the volume especially throughout the first one as
** The second issue has Harry deciding to take their relationship to the next level and ask her to move in with him when he relocates back to his old cabin. What scares her most isn't the idea itself but how ''natural'' it feels to do so, finding it also overwhelming how much she feels for him. Harry isn't upset in the least and understands that she needs some time. Time as it what it seems like only a day and a talk with her father before showing up at Harry's with her things.

** The three have a lovely lunch which is revealed to have been a pretense on Asta and Dan's part to talk Harry about them being SecretSecretKeepers this whole time. And the reason for this is because the government agency that has been looking for Harry is in town and wanted him to be alerted.

*** During the conversation itself, Dan reveals that he has (correctly) deduced that Harry is stranded and not part of some malevolent invasion or threat. The conversation hints that he also suspects there is something between them to Harry's denial yet Dan himself doesn't seem offended or put-off by the idea itself.
* The scene by the lake where Harry reveals his past and how his family is likely long dead due to the nature of his traveling to Earth took many years to Asta. She's obviously sympathetic especially when she learns Harry had a lover who chose not to wait for him due to her family obligations.
** Harry for his part doesn't hold it against her and likely had already resigned to the reality she wouldn't be able to wait for him to return. In hindsight, given his crashing, she was saved from being stuck in suspended animation for who knows how long.

** Bert can't thank Harry enough for clearing his name especially as due to Karen's unintended tampering of the suicide scene he could've easily been pinned for murder. He also decides that he needs to resign as mayor once the scandal that he had been seeing a prostitute even if the affair ahd ended a while ago. It's implied that it's less pragmatism and more that he believes that he's lost the trust of the people showing he's every bit the good man Harry knows him to be that once to do right by his townspeople.

** Honey's mom Amanda later thanks Harry for taking good care of her and while she thought it was unnecessary to get so riled up and twisting into knots, she really appreciated how much care and concern Brad showed for her.
** The scene takes place at the diner because Harry now has a standing lunch appointment with both Bert and Mike where just shoot the breeze with each other. This includes Harry taking about a book he finally found, them teasing him when Amanda gives him a free slice of pie for treating Honey, and them taking about the upcoming mayoral election.
** Speaking of, despite deciding at the end of the last volume to resign following the scandal involving the titular Suicide Blonde, Bert is revealed to have decided to wait out until the election next month. Wether he wins or loses, it'll be the public's choice and Bert will at least be able to say he didn't go down without a fight. It's also implied that his opponent D'Arcy Bloom and him are romantically involved yet remain friendly despite being political rivals.
