Heartwarming / Grrl Power

• Even Deus has to admit that there are some things money can't buy.
  Deus: Well, there aren't, but in some rare cases buying a thing would devalue it.
• Sydney talks Cora into helping Alari refugees with a rather persuasive argument.
  Cora: What's your interest here, Sydney? Why do you want to help these Alari?
  Sydney: Cause they... need help?
  Cora: Heh. That's a pretty good reason.
• Sydney returns to Earth, and immediately Glomps Maxima, rather than returning her salute. Maxima attempt to chide her over this, but quickly breaks and returns the hug.
• Also after her return, she admits to having nightmares about her experiences off-world, and Peggy immediately offers to set her up with a therapist — Sydney readily accepts.
• Frix proves to be a kind and understanding boyfriend when he notices that Sydney is a bit uncomfortable with another girl flirting with him, though she tries to put on a brave face. He gently lets the girl down, since he knows Sydney is still getting used to being in a polyamorous relationship.
• "You're neat." There's never any question that Dabbler genuinely likes her teammates and considers them her friends, but she tends to express that friendship through endless snark and teasing. To have her simply, unironically tell someone she likes them is oddly touching.
• "Master! Master! I did the thing with my boobs! Come see!" Parfait is just so proud of herself for mastering one of the key succubus abilities. And both Thothogoth and Dabbler are so proud of her too. They actually pause in the midst of their brawl to shout their encouragement and approval. Dabbler is such a good big sister, and Thothogoth is such a good...all of the weird combination of relationships that go into being "master" to a succubus in this setting. Small wonder the council of succubus matriarchs approved him for a second "slave".
• Anvil mentions that she'd love to go offworld shopping sometime. Sydney immediately offers to take her to Fracture station.
• The smile on Maxima's face as Dabbler, Cora, Krona, and Leon start brainstorming a way to make the disguising choker work. It's not often that she lets her emotional guard down to that extent, but she's clearly touched.
• After learning about Lapha's Dark and Troubled Past, Sydney is so heartbroken that she agrees to let Lapha stay in her body on a shared custody-basis. Unprompted by Lapha, mind you, Sydney offered to change her entire life simply because she felt bad for a villain who possessed her against her will.
