• The Oarai student council bullying Miho into joining the new tankery club, with Momo shouting at her and the president threatening to expel her if she refuses. She specifically transferred to Oarai because it doesn't have a tankery club -- she still has nightmares of her final mission at Kuromorimine.
  • Saori and Hana standing with Miho and willing to be expelled with her, even though they'd only just met that day. (That's what convinced Miho to relent and join.)
  • And then the tear-jerking is compounded when we learn why the council was so insistent. They were acting out of desperation -- Oarai would be shut down unless it won the tankery tournament, and they needed Miho's experience.
• When first shown, Miho and Yukari are both so shyly hopeful of developing friends -- apparently for the first time in their lives, at sixteen. Miho's statement that eating lunch with Saori and Hana is like having friends....
• When Yuki Isuzu confronts her daughter Hana over being in tankery, and delivers her ultimatum:

Hana: I'm very sorry, mother. But I just...will not give up tankery! Yuki: ...Understood. Then I will ask you not to cross my threshold again. Shinzaburo: Madam, but that's --! Yuki: Shinzaburo, silence! Hana: ...*bows* Pardon my intrusion.

And after she leaves (and finds her friends have eavesdropped), she says "Let's go home" -- back to Oarai, away from her house.
