Title: Entertainer
Day #13: Dennis Macfield sees Sakaki Yuuya perform and wonders of what he could've been.
Dennis Macfield is an entertainer.
Scraping by on his own is made much easier with a little charm and some card tricks. He performs at the streets, pulls a card out of thin air with a beatific smile, makes a coin disappear along with a man's wallet, and goes home with a full stomach that night.
Attention will always be what Dennis craves, but it is never just that. Dennis cannot care for people's smiles if he leaves without any coins in his hat.
Dennis is used to people seeing only the mask that he portrays. The Proffesor was different. He looks at Dennis, sees past the entertainer, and sees a boy desperate to belong.
So he gives Dennis a home. Dennis is the Professor's spy. He is a natural born entertainer with a pretty face and guileless smile.
Dennis Macfield is an actor.
Dennis's first job is to find a girl in the XYZ dimension and he plays at being an entertainer. But when he finds her the fun is over.
Dennis wonders why people always forget the difference between an entertainer and an actor.
But when Dennis sees Sakaki Yuuya perform, he wonders of what he could've been.
