Mob is a good influence on Reigen,

and who would've thought a reedy, quiet thirteen year old

would be the one to bring out the best in him?

It certainly came as a shock

when the kid stuck around

even though Reigan is a charismatic dumpster fire,

a tragedy of a human being

kept together by

luck,

salty ramen,

his devilish good looks

(Mob politely disagrees,

but Reigen overlooks that flaw in his logic;

after all, teenagers aren't known for objectivity;

Reigen knows he's got a crush on a girl his age

the kid's obvious about it,

even though he doesn't talk quite as much

as Reigen did at his age)

and a barely steady income.

Mob is the best kind of kid:

a true, pure heart

sincerity without effort,

genuine without pretense.

If only more people existed like Mob,

then maybe the world would be a better place

(but Reigen would be out of a job:

9f everyone was like Mob, there wouldn't be people paying him

to exorcise pesky ghosts.)
