Visually, when Sonon dies in Intergrade, we see him meet Melphie in what looks like the spirit realm.
Similarly, when Seita dies, he too meets his little sister Setsuko.
As you can see, the scenes have visual parallels with the fireflies or floating light around the pairs.

Finally, there's also the link between the Dachao beans and the Fruit drop hard candies.
Both sets of brother and sister enjoy these treats, and the Dachao beans are often shown comedically to be hard to crunch, while the Hard candies are also known as Jawbreakers.
