Heartwarming / A Very Long Rope to the Top of the Sky

• The cosmic knight ending, which can be seen by beating the Final Boss with Yvette and Raccoon in your party. Yvette pulls out all the stops with her Genki Girl attitude, concocting a bizarre play fantasy where she's a cosmic knight and Raccoon is an Evil Overlord she has to stop. Amazingly, Raccoon actually plays along, cracking his only genuine smile in the entire story. He seems to die afterwards, but it's possible he could still be alive. Yvette accomplished as a child what she could not as an adult: restoring Raccoon's love of life and saving him.
• Similarly, there is the Yvette ending, which can be seen by beating the Final Boss after Yvette and Lief first join the party in the adult arc. Yvette finally catches on to the whole "thoughts become reality" thing and overrides Raccoon's suicide attempt, saving him. She then kicks out Gainer and Lief and creates a Mint clone. Ivy, Yvette, and Raccoon proceed to enjoy the happy childhoods they were robbed of. This is also the only ending where Raccoon is explicitly confirmed to survive, thus making it the only ending where the protagonists actually succeed at what they set out to do.
• The tea party in Yvette's head. All her best friends are in attendance, and when Older Yvette brings up how few friends she has, Younger Yvette brings up the fact that they are awesome friends, which Older Yvette wholeheartedly agrees to. The moments with Mint and Younger Ivy are the most heartwarming, but seeing Racoon of all people smiling takes the cake. Also somewhat funny, given Yvette's (both ages) egomania at points. This all goes to show how highly Yvette thinks of her friends, and is a far cry from how lonely and bored she was when you first met her in the child arc. They've really all come a long way, and have enriched the lives of each other for the better.
  • Hell, the entire dream is one moment of heartwarming after the other as Yvette gets to see all her friends, even her dead parental figures, and hang around them. Even her stuffed bear, Sir Arthur, who Younger Yvette vehemently defends as one of her best friends.
• Rose's soul tear. The friendship she and Claire had was beautiful, and it's wonderful to know that, just like Rose and Claire, Ivy and Yvette would become wonderful friends. It even ends with the tearjerking recital of the game's opening, but in a new light after everything Ivy has had to endure.
• Bringing Prim and Mag back together after seven hundred years of separation and miscommunication. After all the shit they both went through, it's heartwarming to see Prim finally let Mag know that her loyalty to her country means nothing in comparison to Mag's well-being, and even more heartwarming to see Mag finally take off her mask just because Prim asked her to. If you talk to them, they are beaming and glad you brought them together.
  • You can do the same for Seamus and Clovis, too. Not as heartwarming given that they've only been separated five years, but heartwarming nonetheless.
• After being unable to help her for the whole game, right before the final boss, you can finally reunite Other Sylvia with Solomon. The scene goes from Tearjerking to Heartwarming as Other Sylvia grows a spine, demands her right to life, demands the right to be treated as her own person, demands Solomon to give her a chance, and proves that, droid or no, she has a soul. And then Solomon reciprocates. If you talk to Solomon and ask about Other Sylvia, he'll even say that, while she isn't the real Sylvia, he has been growing fond of Other Sylvia. Especially cathartic because you've seen Solomon's logs throughout the game and seen the depths of his despair, and met Other Sylvia early on, but have been unable to help either of the people throughout the game until now.
