Tales of the Abyss/Heartwarming

"Tear: Why are..you here? : This place has a nice view of Hod. And also...I promised someone."

 * Related to that:.
 * Pretty much Guy's loyalty in general. Him going back for Luke, and numerous conversations, including: "But I . . . I want you to stay alive, no matter what anyone else says." And "Even if the rest of the world abandoned you, I'd still be here, by your side."
 * Guy waiting for Luke after the rest of the team temporarily disowns him.
 * "He may be an idiot, but he's my idiot!"

""Luke. How you've changed.""
 * Jade coming out of his shell a little and admitting that he considers Luke a friend while in Daath. Tears were shed.
 * And just after the final battle:

"Jade: To be honest, when I first met you, I thought I'd never be able to like you. Luke: I felt the same way. You were obnoxious and insulting. Jade: But, well, since we've been traveling together, I've come to think you're...not so bad. Luke: ...Are you being serious for a change...? Jade: Yes. I know about the nightmares that still wake you in the middle of the night. For you... still isn't a part of the past. Luke: Well yeah...what do you expect? Jade: On nights when you've killed bandits or Oracle Soldiers...you lie there awake, shaking. Luke: ...I'm a coward... Jade: No...That part of you is something I lack. I...still can't really grasp what it means for people to die. Luke: Jade... Jade: I've learned a lot of things by watching you. Luke: I'm glad I traveled with you, Jade. Thanks to you, I've learned what I need to do. It's not the same as Master Van but...you're still a teacher and a mentor to me. Jade: I HATE teaching. I don't take apprentices. I don't impart knowledge. Luke: That's okay. I'll just steal it on my own. Jade: Oh? Heh heh...All right."
 * During one visit to Keterburg, talking to Jade results in this:


 * Luke and Tear on the Albiore in the water before the final battle. Heartwarming moment ahoy.
 * After defeating, the party reassures (Luke in particular) Jade that he shouldn't be so hard on himself. Jade, in his own roundabout way, thanks them for helping him finally come to terms with his personal demons.
