A few rays of hope shine out in this game's bleak darkness.
As with all moments pages, Spoilers Off!
- The Trebhum elders giving the young ones advice, knowing that they are too old to escape the cylinder and yet empowering the new generation to help save the future of their species.
- Just before the desert biome, one cube-shaped Trebhum elder is clearly dying. He promises the Trebhums safe passage and tells them that his spirit will rejoice when they succeed where he has failed.
- His brother in the lava temple grants the young Trebhum advice and expresses the eagerness of knowing that as the Cylinder approaches he will be reunited with his brother once again.
- There's something oddly adorable about how Glickbols try to defend one another when grabbed by Trebhum even if they only deal one HP of damage. Not bad for a group of rolling frogspawn.
- When the Trebhum first see a hologram of an Elder giving them advice, they try to convince it to come with them, not knowing it can't hear them, but also displaying an endearing childhood innocence of simply wanting to help.
- The Trebhum's idle animations sometimes show them cheering and playing with each other, even making high-fives with their trunks whenever they successfully complete a mission! D'awww.
- Mentions in flavor text give insights of the once-advanced Trebhum civilization, such as folk tales and oral tradition and even myths and legends, such as one plant that grants them a stomp ability being named after a Trebhum mythological hero, or stories about their native wildlife being told in folk tales and fables.
- The reveal that the Narrator was a human all along: a human from the now-destroyed Earth who lingers on only as a memory, but struggles to guide the Trebhum on as best as he can.
- Once the Trebhum finally get the Trewhaala mutation, they finally manage to converse with a Trewhaala: who reveals that their species had been friends long ago, and that the Trewhaala had fled their homeworld ages before but found hope upon meeting the Trebhum. They willingly assist the Trebhum in their journey, which, given that most of their previous interactions consisted of zapping them as intruders, is very satisfying to see— and really, who wouldn't want a nigh-godlike whale-worm fighting for their side?
- The determination of the Trebhum in saving the world at the brink of destruction hits its peak when the Mathematician spears one of the Trewhaala assisting them, causing them to pull of feats of bravery like never before.Narrator: In a world where giants fought and monsters battled, sometimes it was the actions of the smallest of creatures that could make a difference.
- Also the final battle against the Unifier holding the last Trewhaala memory.Narrator: They had fought this creature before, and had beaten it. And they would do so again: for themselves, for the Trewhaala, and for the future.
- The Trewhaala, ferrying the Trebhum to the floating palace, tells them that they are a dying race, and that perhaps tomorrow, or in a hundred years, the Trewhaala will be gone. Still, they remain hopeful for a miracle that they may somehow rise again, for they may come a time when Trebhum and Trewhaala can live together in harmony.Trewhaala: We cannot know what the future holds for us. All we have, in the end, is this moment. And in this moment, all we can ask...is that you sing to us.
- The Mathematician pulls off a Heel–Face Turn after his final defeat, sacrificing himself to destroy the Cylinder once and for all. It's implied that the Narrator was the Mathematician all along, and that he regained enough control of his humanity to take down his destructive master.
- The Narrator's final speech.Narrator: But even though the last of me fades away, even for a little while, I was part of this family. And that...gives me hope.
- The credits montage shows us the world of the Trebhum before the Cylinder came, and we get to see more than a few shots of the adorable baby Trebhum singing with their parents. There's also a few shots of the Trewhaala and Trebhum living in harmony, and enjoying it like no other.
- The very last shot of the credits implies that the deceased Elder seen at the very beginning was the one who had placed the Trebhum egg in the nest to safekeep it, little knowing the Cylinder would eventually reach it.
