* Being a member of the Tokiha family appears to be a prerequisite for heartwarming moments in ''[[Mai-HiME]]''. Mai gets one in the last episode, when she finally says "I love you" to someone, after spending most of the anime [[Celibate Hero|actively avoiding it]]. The recipient is the person you'd least expect (or most, depending on your character preferences): {{spoiler|Mikoto, right in the middle of a risky and potentially life-ending [[Cooldown Hug]]. Mikoto, who'd been struggling with figuring out "[[What Is This Thing You Call Love?|that thing called love]]" for the last few episodes, returns the favor shortly after the [[Grand Finale]].}}
** Her [[Ill Girl|sickly]] [[Cute Shotaro Boy|younger brother]] Takumi is also involved in one earlier in the series. When confronted by [[Ninja|Akira]], who {{spoiler|attempts to kill him for discovering that [[Sweet Polly Oliver|she's really a girl]], Takumi tells her to go ahead with it, because he feels guilty about being a burden on Mai under his condition. Hearing this, Akira [[Tsundere|softens up]] and tearfully tells Takumi not to die on her, and even [[Intimate Healing|saves his life when he has a seizure right there]].}}
** There's also another instance in the manga, where a sick and exhausted Mai (who up until that point had been the Mai-HiME poster girl for [[Don't You Dare Pity Me]]) finally admits - both to herself and to Yuuichi - that she's happy he showed such care and concern for her when she fell ill.
