I am working to get what I want. Am I not allowed to want more than one thing at a time? That would be hypocritical, coming from you.

[Izumi's happiness and his own goal of opening a cafe...both of these things can be obtained at once, of that Sandalphon is sure. He shifts slightly to make sure Izumi can get comfortable in his lap, scratching him gently behind the ears again. They're really so soft...Izumi's the kind of cat that all kinds of people with status are after. Beautiful face, lovely voice and an elegant purr, silky fur, and a downright adorable, perfect stripe pattern on his ears and tail...he's way too high-class for someone like Sandalphon.

But Sandalphon likes talking to him, and he likes little moments like this.

That's why it's important that he keep Izumi as happy as he can. Because nothing is stopping him from finding someone who can make him happier.]

You've seen how I treat the people and the things that I don't want in my life.

[Like Lucio, for instance.]

So you should know that I...well.

[He doesn't want to say it out loud even though he basically is.]
