Affron was being extremely friendly toward Sage, which made him rather happy. Normally, people weren't like that. Perhaps that was because of the boy's absolutely terrible luck that he always seemed to have. The older boy's grin that he gave caused the same expression to grace Sage's face. Affron had said that he would get Sage whatever he wanted.

Whatever I want? the boy thought to himself in astonishment. What do I want, though? I never really thought about that.

It was true that Sage had never even put the slightest bit of his thought processes into thinking of things that he wanted. He only ever thought about what he needed. It was extremely difficult for the boy to think of a wish or desire over an absolute necessity. Then, it hit him. He knew exactly what he wanted.

"Well, it's kind of difficult to choose," laughed the boy. Then he continued, "How about something a bit different? We could go into one of those shops over there and just see what they have. Maybe they'll have something interesting."

What Sage wanted was not just something different, but something that would remind him of his friend. That was the idea that hit him. He needed something he could wear. Perhaps it would be something like a bracelet. It would just be nice to have something that would remind him of the closest friend he'd ever had. Suddenly, Sage felt no remorse for letting Affron steal the girl's money.
