Degarashi considered the morale of the city for a moment, a new idea seemingly forming in his mind. "Morale... yes, I suppose my talents could be used for such a matter.

With a small shrug, she added, "Regardless, if you do propose to do a performance, perhaps I will come watch. You seem to have a talent for taking yourself into character - for a moment I thought you had been taken by a different spirit entirely."
Indeed, it was hard to tell if that was a complement, or a concern for his sanity.
