• In "The Lonely", a prisoner condemned to live alone on an asteroid is given a female robot for companionship and falls in love with her. When he gets a pardon, there's no room for the robot on the ship home. When he refuses to leave her behind, the ship's captain shoots her. The prisoner comes to his senses and leaves the asteroid. What really clinches it is the closing narration. This robot, which he loved and which saved his life, is now obsolete and abandoned, turning to rust.
• The ending part of "I Sing the Body Electric". The children, all grown up, have to move on to their new lives and new homes, yet they will still visit their elecrical "grandmother" from time to time. It's so heartbreaking, and at the same time Heartwarming Moments.
