@DOVEMINES:           Owner?  I wasn’t aware that I’d become a pet.

@WETBLADES:            Coy?  Enough,  I came here to tell you that you’re with me on this mission.

@damndsouls:     I’ll sleep well with or without ruining your day.  It’s not hard,  am I supposed to feel bad?

" these were a bribery gift. they’re special. and now they’re all scuffed up. how do you even live with yourself? "

@damndsouls      that's  horrible,  you'll  be  fine.  you're  a  grown  man.

            it’s  no  secret  that  giran  never  really  does  anything  out  of  the  kindness  of  his  heart;  everything’s  about  money  to  him,  one  way  or  another.  he  considers  letting  jigoku  hang  out  at  his  place  every  now  and  then  as  just  a  way  of  ...  maintaining  client  satisfaction,  if  you  will.  at  least  with  the  boy,  kagero  doesn’t  have  to  suck  up  and  pretend  he’s  far  more  amicable  than  he  is.  he  at  least  laughs  a  little  at  the  anecdote  of  an  old  classmate;  sometimes  it’s  easy  to  forget  jigoku  had  a  life  before  he  became  ...  well,  jigoku.
