With Apichisi ( @catncore ) and Eanas ( @dandybarista ) as her dads, she couldn't be any more grateful than she already is for them saving her life in more ways than one.

⚅— Hanekoma's Views of Humanity and Conflict —⚅

⚀ Hanekoma is deeply attached to humanity and his human existence, even if that humanity is no longer a thing anymore. He views his human years as his best years no matter how much he grows or what he accomplishes as an angel. And yes, this also includes those years in which he was at his lowest. Even though he did a lot more as an angel, he loves and loved being human.

⚀ This is so much so that he will actively go out of his way to be as human as possible in whatever little ways he can. A lot of it is still automatic function anyway, since he is so incredibly used to being human. Fulfilling hunger and thirst and sleep needs, letting himself get sick and be injured, breathing and blinking and feeling sore after a lot of work. He can avoid doing/feeling these things, and if he's in a big time crunch he will very much do so, but in general he lets his body play itself out as if he were human. I feel like being an angel in all of the ways that they aren't human takes a while to get used to if you were born a human, and Hanekoma has actively done his best not to get used to this change.

⚀ Hanekoma can get along with anyone, but he tends not to like angels very much for all of the ways they are not human, and one of the biggest things about that is their lack of understanding of human emotions, thoughts, and motivations. He meticulously studies humans to better understand them, not in the putting someone under a microscope kind of way, but in more of a poet's way of studying... If that makes sense. He loves watching people and learning about why people do things and understanding the inner motivations and passions and turmoils of the human soul. And it frustrates him that most angels are more or less against this kind of study, or if they do try to understand they always do so in that cold and detached sort of way.

⚀ When it comes to hardship and suffering, Hanekoma is very pro going through the trials. If someone is having a bad day he can absolutely 100% be "oh my poor baby, let me take care of you." But there's also a nonzero chance he'll also be like, "This is good! Suffer more!" Hanekoma feels that every challenge, even the most awful, horrible, no-good, very bad situations can bring clarity and growth. And additionally, he feels like almost every person has the capacity to meet those challenges, however awful or unfair or destructive they are, and come out the other side without breaking. Not to say they won't be changed (change is good!), but that they will be a more developed person coming out than going in, no matter how bad it gets.

⚀ Additionally, Hanekoma also believes this of himself, even if he is also not immune to falling off the saddle and getting wrapped up in his own head sometimes. That's why every time he looks back at something horrible that happened to him, he feels grateful for having gone through that experience. Getting beaten over half to death by Api? Good! Getting the worst anime betrayal of his entire existence from Abe? Good! Everything he goes through he knows he grows from.

⚀ And lastly, even though Hanekoma can get very wrapped up in his own head sometimes, he's also a big supporter of enjoying the journey of going through the trials even if the trials like, really really suck. Even if you're having the absolute worst day of your life, he fully believes you should enjoy it anyway, and find what positivity you can in your suffering, because at the end of the day you're going to be a better person for having survived it, even if you don't fully understand how to use what you learned from that experience right away. Sometimes it takes years and lots of therapy to work through your trauma, but you will learn something of value and grow and develop from it, and he loves that.

[catncore]

you still think they're your dads?

[baphometed]

❝  you flatter me, symphonist. ❞ his laugh is slow, but warmer than his previous tone. he wasn't worried about breaking the ice. he knew that he'd be welcomed here and that wasn't an issue at all. usually he spent his time in L.A but he was looking for a bit of a change of scenery. see his fledglings and perhaps check on abel if he was back in town yet. it would be easy to track the pup down either way.

❝  either of them will do. i need to see both of them individually at some point. ❞ he'd start with the cafe if that was where eanas was. it was easier to handle him first. apichisi always got understandably tense when they were alone. ❝  i should also like to borrow you for dinner soon when you are free one day. i'll be visiting for a few days for personal matters before i return to my city. ❞ and he needed to purchase Soleil some different energy drink types since their usual staple drink was going out of production. shibuya was ripe with potential with things to try.

❝ though, i should ask. have my boys been treating you well? they haven't done anything i should have to reprimand them for, should i?  ❞ not that he was looking for a reason to do that, but he could make a teaching moment out of anything and know that they would listen. their composer was a primary focus next to the city; given their chosen position. he was keen to see that they were kept on track.

@the-composer / continued.

❝You know, I don't tend to mind pumpkin spice lattes all that much if they're made by my dads or Tsukasa himself. I know that all of them are rather particular about the ingredients anyway, which is what makes them taste so good in the first place!❞

[mystical-strawberry-sheep]

{UGH she is here! OTL}

{You can't really tell because I forgot to color it, but there's a bow on her head. This is my very first time using these ink brush pens and I struggled hard to get the ink moving in the red and green pens, so when I went to use the black pen I assumed I'd have the same problem. I did not. It went everywhere.}

{But! She's done! TWEWY Aku in her Shibuya Street Party Halloween costume! It's actually a lot of wa lolita that she picked up a long time ago paired with some cat accessories! She made the ears and tail herself, but the rest of it is all about the coord. She's sure there are some hardcore lolitas out there cursing her name right now...}

{Some things that exist but I just didn't feel like I had the scale/ability to draw are: cat eye contacts. They make her pupils the slit shape, but she made sure the color matched her natural eyes. Little mold-on fangs. And her shoes are specifically geta with cat paw bases, though one wouldn't really be able to tell unless they were paying attention to her feet when she walks.}

{I was also going to make a drabbel to go along with this, but OTL nah. I'll do it later. Let's just suffice to say that she really hopes she can win that Gatito merch Api was talking about.}

[falseapostle]

✥ @angelbeamz asked: ✥

✥ "What if the Higher Plane was called the 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 Plane and they had to be 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂." ✥

♝~✺~♝

"I know you're memeing on me right now, but legitimately I think this might not be too far from the actual case. Have you met Shibuya's Producers? Have you met them? I am thoroughly convinced that if you dropped any purebred angel onto Earth for more than five minutes, he would become an absolute and bonafide freak, if he wasn't one already. It's just inevitable."

[aceparagon]

❝Technically, I've got three dads, but that one hasn't exactly kept in touch with me.❞ Of course she was talking about her birth father here, but it wasn't as if it was his fault, given just how hectic her life was. That, and she didn't quite feel all that close to him in the first place. Though, it wasn't the time to dwell on the thought of not getting to spend more time with her birth parents.

...Especially when Yusuke made a remark like that! A small squeak left her lips with her rapidly waving her hands in front of her face out of embarrassment. ❝N-No, of course I'm not hinting or suggesting anything—! I just——!❞ Despite the reaction she just gave, Hikaru was aware that he was playing around here. He wouldn't be Yusuke if he didn't tease others with his remarks. Not only that, but the pat to her head also helped to confirm that.

❝Ahem. Anyway, with that aside, I think that you'd get along with them. They're down to earth, kindhearted, and both of them can make a mean cup of coffee. If you've ever heard of WildKat in Shibuya, they both own the shop. It's one of my favorite places to go to.❞

𝐔𝐍𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐃 | @aceparagon | 𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐄𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆

❝ Hey, I've been wondering... Would you like to meet my dads one day? They're really chill and I think you'd get along with them. ❞

━━   ❝   𝐃𝐚𝐝𝐬? 𝐈 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐰𝐨?   ❞    He said teasingly with the smile remaining on his face as he tucked both his hands into his pockets. The former detective thought about it..then finally nods his head in agreement. “I’d love to, just a surprise…meetin’ the folks is usually a date move right before the sex, are ya hintin’ at somethin’ goldilocks?” THE PLAYFUL SMILE REMAINED on his face before he shook his head. She knows he’s teasing, or at least he hopes she does…granted he wouldn’t exactly deny himself the moment either. However, for now his hand gently pats the top of her head.

[aceparagon]

❝—Hold on a minute...❞ No, she doesn't know why this thought just came to her now.

❝Oh my god, I'm gonna be turning thirty in February... Damn, I never thought I was gonna make it to this age, given how this war's been going...❞

Then, quietly, she whispers to herself: ❝Thanks for saving my life twice when it mattered so that I could really make a difference, dads. I love you so much.❞

[strawberista]

"What, me? Pfft... All right. I'll tell you a little. The name's Sanae Hanekoma. Born March 4, blood type A. I'm a Pisces, and one hip café barista, mista. I'm a big gambler. My favorite word: "windfall." "Natto" gets my tummy rumbling. As for my physical dimensions. . ."

★ Disclaimer: Unlike many, I do not assign specific years to TWEWY or to my own Hanekoma and his universe. Personally I feel each game is simply a representation of the time in which it was created and do not attempt to use technology or similar context clues to determine the year. Therefore, such elements are based on whatever reads best at the time, and Hanekoma's zodiac is based on his personality. ★

⚅ — TLDR — ⚅

Sanae Hanekoma is an angel that watches over Shibuya as its acting Producer. He’s laid back and doesn’t often lose his cool, but he takes his job very seriously.

⚀ Body Modifications: Hanekoma has a blue and red tribal tattoo wrapping around his upper left arm resembling his noise form. He also has regular ear piercings.

⚀ Style: Hanekoma visited a casino once and was so enamored by the uniforms there he decided to just start emulating the dress. But doing so properly was still a little too restrictive, so now he wears oversized shirts and doesn't button anything all the way. For shoes, he always wears sandals for maximum comfort. He's always got an expensive watch on his wrist, but these days he's taken to wearing earrings as well.

⚅ — Personality — ⚅

⚀ Positive Traits: Compassionate, loyal, creative, affectionate, brave, intelligent, open-minded

⚀ Negative Traits: Selfish, impulsive, impatient, stubborn, obsessive, greedy

⚀ General Mood: Relaxed, content

⚀ Greatest Joy: Creation, meeting people

⚀ Greatest Fear: Losing the city/his loved ones

⚀ Motto: "Enjoy every moment." and "The world ends with you."

⚀ General Description: Hanekoma has an easy-going personality and a generally happy disposition. It’s incredibly difficult to rile him up in any regard, and he will often simply let insulting or hurtful comments roll off of his back. He may come off as if he doesn’t take anything seriously, but in fact he is incredibly perceptive and analyzing. He has a tendency to take people under his wing, especially if he can see in them the potential for a lot of personal growth. This most often comes in the form of protecting players from shady dealings during the Reaper’s Game. He can sometimes have a parental attitude towards others, but he has no trouble at all with pushing people to their limits if it means they might reach a breakthrough in their character.

⚅ — Habits and Hobbies — ⚅

⚀ Likes: Coffee, gambling, new experiences, meeting new people, long conversations, Shibuya, art in all forms

⚀ Dislikes: Close-mindedness, extended isolation, threats to the city, a lack of personal growth

⚀ Favorites: The colors red and black, jazz and hip hop music, Haruto Abe's house blend coffee, the word windfall, natto, money, poetry

⚀ Spending habits: Excessive spender, but very careful with his money. Gambling can sometimes be the exception, but these days he leaves his cards at home to limit his gambling.

⚀ Tics: Rubbing/holding the back of his neck, rolling a pair of dice in his hand, running his fingers through his hair, tugging his chin

⚀ Hobbies: Hanekoma seems to run a café as a primary business, but in fact this is a hobby of his. He also works as a multi-talented artist that dips his hands in almost every form of art from graffiti to music to fashion design. Hanekoma takes a deep pleasure from being an active source of growth and change in his city and does so primarily through his work as CAT. More recently, Hanekoma had learned how to tattoo, and had a tattoo parlor that he runs as a hobby as well. Appointments can be made by anyone, but the business is not advertised at all.

⚅ — Background — ⚅

⚀ Childhood: Hanekoma was born and raised in Shibuya by two loving and supportive parents. His family was always lower income, though, so they never had a glamorous or fruitful existence. During summers Hanekoma would go into the country where his grandparents lived. Death was introduced early in life with the passing of his grandfather, and he was taught to accept the natural course of life. As a student, he was charismatic and did well on his work, but he would skip out unnoticed when he thought he could get away with it. He never caused a lot of trouble, but he always bent the rules as much as possible.

⚀ Adolescence: Hanekoma was a stressed teenager, but he never showed it to those around him. He began to live to please his parents and teachers, but he yearned to experience life his own way as well. Both of his grandparents now passed, he no longer took summers in the country and instead spent his free time exploring and learning Shibuya in and out. He fell in love with the city, but he also instilled in himself a wanderlust.

⚀ Young Adulthood: As a young adult, Hanekoma began to fear the retaliation from his parents for not going into a university, and so he quickly moved away from home as soon as he could. He lived by himself and spent his days living a fairly closed in life until the day his mother called him to inform him his father was dying. He rushed home immediately, and finally he made amends with them just a few days before his father's passing, learning that he'd never had any reason to fear in the first place. He lived with his mother afterwards, but she passed mere months after his father. After this he began traveling with a gaggle of friends he'd made over the years, eager to fill the void his parents left behind. It was through this venue that he was introduced to casinos, and he became addicted to gambling. He visited a casino wherever he went and lost more and more money, until he couldn't afford to travel anymore. Still obsessed with gambling, he began spending his money in pachinko parlors and illegal gambling dens.

⚀ Adulthood: Hanekoma wasted away all of his money until he could no longer support himself, and he found himself on the streets and struggling just to exist. He spent many days in alleyways and abandoned buildings. Having worked up quite a debt, he often found himself being attacked and was always on the alert, though any time he could get money he usually found himself playing street craps with it or in some other gambling den. This carried on until one particular winter he nearly died from the elements alone and was approached by an old man offering shelter. As much as he wanted to refuse, he knew he didn't have that luxury and finally gave in. The man, named Haruto Abe, took him into his home and got Hanekoma back on his feet. Therapy, a job at his own café, training in learning how to support himself, and the love and support he hadn't seen since his parents. Hanekoma did pick himself back up and went on to open his own café, Wildkat, and slowly healed into a person that loved Shibuya once again.

⚀ Death and Afterlife: Hanekoma met his end at the hands of a man he used to borrow money from. In the end his old gambling habits caught up to him anyway. Hanekoma fought to the end, but his opponent was in possession of an illicit firearm and determined not to let him get away with his life this time. Hanekoma entered his Game a little bleary, but not without help. Abe, much to Hanekoma's surprise, was able to find him right after his registration into the Game and give him pointers, with the explanation that he had a sixth sense which allowed him to see into the UG. Hanekoma followed Abe's instructions expressly and was able to win his Game, allowing him to become a reaper (per Abe's suggestion). From there Hanekoma quickly rose in rank, casually raking in more and more souls. All the while Abe kept feeding him secrets about Composerhood and the Higher Plane and angels, priming him for the position of Producer. Once Hanekoma finally reached his ascension, he was offered the position of Producer in lieu of Composer and he took it. Abe disappeared directly after this and wouldn't be seen again for many years.

⚅ — Abilities — ⚅

⚀ Angel: As an angel, Hanekoma has the ability to see and interact with the RG, UG, and HP at any given time. He also has the ability to scan living humans, players in the Reaper’s Game, and reapers. He can jump from one universe to another. Hanekoma has knowledge of taboo noise and refinery. He will not use these abilities unless pushed to extremes, however. And finally, Hanekoma has the ability to imprint on both people and players. The most common way for him to do so is through his art and tattoo work.

⚀ Noise: Hanekoma has a noise in the form of Panthera Cantus, which act as two entities with separate abilities. Leo Cantus is fast and teleports away when hit directly. Tigris Cantus can create clones of herself and can only be hit through her shadow, not her actual body.

⚀ Human: Just through his physical body, Hanekoma has considerable skill in street fighting, and he often chooses to do most of his fighting through this method (genuine quarrels, as opposed to testing an individual, in which he would use his noise form).

⚅ — Relationships — ⚅

⚀ Overview: Hanekoma makes friends easily. That being said, he also tends to keep people at arm’s length without them really realizing it. He says very little about himself while working to get to know others on a deeply personal level, earning the trust of many despite keeping himself a secret. He enjoys being social and making new friends, and he understands the power personal bonds can have on society as a whole. He actively encourages friendship, but he will never seek to deepen a bond any further than that.

⚀ Romance: Romantic relationships are, for the foreseeable future, strictly non-canon for this blog. Hanekoma is in a romantic relationship with himself, literally, as far as his canon is concerned. However, non-canon ships are available to plot and write.

⚀ Family: Hanekoma has no biological children, but he has a few canon familial ships. The first is his Composer, Joshua (@kingsmedley), whom he treats like his son. The second is a young reaper named Joel (@mundanemiseries), whom teeters back and forth from being like a nephew to being like another son. There is also Sho Minamimoto (@the-grim-heaper), whom Hanekoma considers a child of his even if he has no solid, concrete evidence that Sho feels the same way.

⚀ Important Individuals: Haruto Abe (@falseapostle) is the man that took Hanekoma in and is an angel. Hanekoma treated him as a parent in his living life and as a mentor, but after his return they grew a closer, more romantic relationship. Now that they are separated, both physically and emotionally, Hanekoma has forgiven him but doesn't interact with him at all. Raizen (@fangedstories) is Hanekoma's warden angel, an angel that checks up on him and makes sure he isn't breaking angel law. Apichisi (@catncore) and Eanas (@dandybarista) are older angel counterparts from another universe. While interactions are largely non-canon, these two have played roles in significant canon events. Similarly, their Joshua (@the-composer) has also participated in some of these events. Hope (@hopeful-hugz) is a character that is entirely non-canon for Hanekoma, however is still important to some canon events. When speaking with other characters that have non-canon relationships and interactions with Hope, they may come up in conversation. Otherwise, Hanekoma's secondary therapy works much differently.

⚅ — Canon Events — ⚅

⚀ Hanekoma and Joshua have had multiple falling outs, the last of which resulted in Joshua going to therapy and learning how their codependency was making them both unhealthy. As a result, Joshua and Hanekoma almost never come into contact anymore, for the sake of earning independence from one another. To this day, however, Hanekoma has never been so close or so attached to any other person, and even now he will put Joshua over any other person in his life.

⚀ Hanekoma met Apichisi and Eanas while traveling and refused to take no for an answer when he tried getting in their business. The intention was to help, but the push resulted in an altercation with the universe's Joshua, which then resulted in a deeply traumatizing battle with Apichisi. Shortly after this he also exchanged words with Eanas which led to his being banned from the universe altogether. Over the time of his absence he healed, and he made amends with the universe, but he still occasionally has nightmares related to the fight with Apichisi. In this altercation Hanekoma was shot with an angelic bullet that disabled his ability to heal. This is where he received the scar on his leg, a mark where the bullet once was.

⚀ Hanekoma received an arm tattoo from Apichisi during one of his visits. He imprinted on the tattoo so Hanekoma now feels his presence at all times. Apichisi then taught him how to tattoo on others as well, effectively allowing him to take up the occupation in his own universe.

⚀ Apichisi taught Hanekoma how to preen his own feathers and preen the feathers of others. Before this point Hanekoma didn't touch them at all. To this day his wings are extremely sensitive because of this, but he does preen himself regularly now.

⚀ Hanekoma developed a crush on Eanas, and it helped to cause the events of the banning situation. Canonically, he has moved past this and now remains romantically involved with himself, but non-canon threads playing on this may still occasionally pop up.

⚀ Haruto Abe reappeared in Hanekoma's life, making the excuse that he'd been unable to visit beforehand. He began manipulating Hanekoma, making him believe that he was harmless and merely misinterpreted while threatening and mistreating everyone in Hanekoma's life. Abe continued this farce with the intention of isolating Hanekoma to the point of him returning to the Higher Plane for reconditioning. But the longer he stayed in Shibuya the more attached he became to Hanekoma's loved ones. In the end, he could no longer continue the ruse and chose to end it. Hoping to make Hanekoma hate him and earn his own exorcism, Abe ripped a feather from Hanekoma's wing. Joshua attempted to exorcise him, but only succeeded in cutting him off from the Higher Plane. Abe was transferred to Shinjuku of Apichisi and Eanas's universe. For a time after this, Hanekoma attempted to pull the feather any time it tried to come in, but eventually he allowed it to heal. Ever since this, this particular feather has always grown in shorter than the others of its like.

⚀ Hanekoma began going to therapy. ★ In compatible threads, Hanekoma attends therapy at Hope's medical facility STM, where therapists have multiversal licenses that allow them to work with angels. ★ In all other threads, Hanekoma attends therapy at a regular office, and he simply avoids talking about forbidden subjects, choosing to translate them into situations he can talk about legally (e.g. explaining the feather incident as pulling out a good chunk of his hair instead of a feather).

🤍 Hope only consistently takes coffee of any sort from Decaf ( @strawberry-barista ), Api ( @catncore ) and Ean ( @dandybarista ).

Anyone else she’s maybe tried once and has consistently chosen tea afterwards. She’s surprisingly picky when it comes to that drink in particular. As far as she’s concerned, they are the only three who can make coffee she actually likes.

[aceparagoned]

"I dunno, I'd rather not be called pretty or getting robbed. If you just need some money, ask. It's not like I use it on myself all that much. Plus, you don't risk getting on my dads' or my bestie's bad side, so it's a win/win."

[mystical-strawberry-sheep]

{Drabble based on this thread written with @catncore. Image reference here.}

Aku struggled to get through the street to Wildkatz, trying not to pay attention to any eyes that were on her. She knew the reality of the situation was that everyone was doing their own thing and probably didn't even notice her, but she couldn't help this feeling like she was being judged for wearing her co-ord in this way. But she had run out of options the longer it took her to think of what to make, and given the situation she'd found herself in with as little money as she had and as little experience with this kind of crafting it was a miracle she'd managed to get anything together at all.

A soft breath as she entered the shop and slipped off to the side. She was sure there was going to be a crowd in here, if just for today, and she didn't want to get in anyone's way. And it wasn't that she didn't want to order something, but she at least wanted to avoiding standing in line before she knew what she wanted. Maybe she would just get her usual order and cower in the table furthest away from everyone else. She felt ridiculous despite being surrounded by other people in costumes and she didn't want to be noticed.

She wore a wa lolita dress with a black and white pattern over the main areas and red in the accents. She'd gotten a bell collar and tied bells on little strings that she'd attached to white frilly socks. Her geta had paw prints on the bottom and she had gone out of her way to make the split-lip makeup and gotten some cat eye contacts to give her eyes a slit pupil. When it came to her own handiwork, however, was the ears and tail, which she had made by hand. She'd had to frog the project multiple times, but she'd crocheted both items and laced short strands of yarn painstakingly into each stitch. Once that was done, she'd bought a pet brush for the sole purpose of brushing out the yarn and fluffing it out. The longer strands inside the ears were fanned out to make a particularly bushy fluff and a wire had been strung through the tail to be able to pose it however she needed it. It had seemed like an amazing idea until she'd gotten into the thick of it and was crying by how strange it looked.

She finally found a table she felt comfortable with and sat down, laying her head in her arms and just taking a moment to try to breathe. It was scary, but if she won that merchandise it would be so so worth it.

The lengths she went to to get some pins...

[strawberista]

"I'd hardly call what you did 'wiping the floor' with me. Ya barely came out on top'a that one, boss. I bet in a rematch I'd floor your ass, but again. I'm not looking to earn Ancestor's wrath a second time. Him, I am scared of."

“Let your aniki learn his lessons on his own. My cat wouldn’t need to get involved anyway. I’d wipe the floor with him just like I did with you.”

[falseapostle]

✥ @fangedstories asked: ✥ ✥ 💭💭💭💭 (Joker, Shell, Kiryu, Raizen) ✥

Abe's Thoughts

♝~✺~♝

✥ Joker:

Joker. That was someone Haruto owed a great deal to. Joker had on multiple occasions healed, checked on, and even saved his boys. Joker had protected him numerous times, had aided them whenever they needed it, and he was someone who worked just for the betterment of Haruto's children. He was someone Haruto deeply trusted and cared for. He was someone Haruto wanted to protect, as much as he could.

Too bad it was Decaf and not himself that was in charge of Joker's work, but at least he knew the fallen angel could take care of himself.

Now if only he could get the boys to trust him...

✥ Shell Neku:

Protege turned... Adopted son. Neku was coming along nicely, and Haruto had the paperwork to prove it. Reports that he had been sending along to Apichisi as well. He was slowly connecting with the world around himself and rebuilding the person he once was. He had come to care deeply for the children that came into Gold Cross, and he had a crush on one of his coworkers. He was feeling regular emotions and interacting with other people in a way that was... at least almost normal. There were things he still did not fully understand, and there were emotions he still couldn't handle. But all things considered, Haruto thought he'd been doing well with him.

✥ Kiryu:

Kiryu was one fiery individual. He had a powerful spirit and a good imagination, and if it weren't for the fact that he was so immature a lot of the time, Haruto might have even been in a place where he could respect him. Well, he could at least respect the work Kiryu was putting in to grow. He was watching the progress and keeping his mouth shut when things went awry, for the most part. He wasn't sure Kiryu was in a place where he could trust him to romance Queenie, but that was only an observation. He wasn't going to stop them from interacting and he was only with Queenie as a teaching method anyway. It wasn't as if they were actually in love. Whatever the case, he did quietly pull for the lad. He wanted to see him grow and become the person he was aiming to be, worthy of his current Shibuy'a Queen.

✥ Raizen:

Haruto knew very little about Raizen, aside from the fact that he was the angel in charge of Decaf, watching him to see if he ever got a mind to break the rules again. He had been put in the wrong job, Haruto thought. It was difficult to be in charge of fallen angels like that when one was already predisposed to feeling emotions. He was slowly becoming a rebel himself, even if he liked to deny it. Or at least, that's how things seemed based on his behavior in the chatroom they were all a part of. The problem was that Raizen could not shake off his indoctrination. He was loyal to the Higher Plane above all else, and he did whatever he could to defend them and cast ill opinions on everyone near and dear to the people he was trying to form bonds with. It was not going to work in his favor. Something terrible would happen, one day...
