... I dunno. A joint like this is where people end up when they got nowhere else to go. When folks are down on their luck, it's up to folks like me to pick 'em back up. They say this place is the pits, but seeing the crowd smile even just for a little while makes me happy. Working here's gonna make me happy for sure.
[It makes him happy to see people happy. What a nice thought. Rinne is so nice through and through, he thinks.]
I think I am helping. [...] Sometimes people are scared, though. I try not to be that scary. Though I think I can't help it. Being what I am. Both...an angel, and an Augmented.
Maybe you can't change who you are. But so long as both of you can still yap at each other, you'll reach an understanding someday. Keep at it, and you'll figure each other out. Soon, they'll stop being scared of ya...
[ His smile crinkles the corners of his eyes.
Oh, he can't help it. He ruffles Sariel's bangs. ]
[Though he is not saying his name to complain. Hardly not. The ruffle of his hair gets him to smile.]
If you say so. [And now, he's reaching over to do the same to Rinne in turn, fluffing up that vibrant red hair.] If you do your best...I...will too. You...will be loved, too. And you are loved.

[ Too late. He's getting his hair fluffed. It doesn't feel bad, though. Just new. No one really touches his hair like that. ]
U-um. Yeah. Thanks.
[ ...He is loved. In this world, especially. He is loved so much that he sometimes wonders if it's okay to stay. ]

Rinne's still a little wary about this establishment, but at least Sariel looks happy here. He hopes Hiiro is happy over there, too. ]
Anyway, I gotta get in there. I don't wanna keep the crowd waiting! Keep up the good work, Sarry. Rinne-kun's cheering you onβͺ

[Rinne is a busy man. He keeps performing, keeps putting himself on stage, and he makes the sun shine, in his own way.]
[He gives him a little wave.]
Let me know...if you need anything. Okay? I'll cheer you on from here.
