Papers Please Sergiu and Elisa

I really liked this moment of Papers Please. It stands out in all the gloom and doom, even if it isn't exactly the deepest love story.

Didn't expect a cutscene when she was let in, and while being so focused to inspecting the next immigrant, suddenly noticed Sergiu call out, "ELISA!" Surprised to see them running towards each other and embrace onto one another's arms.
