"Best in the world," Angelo reassured him. "I see a lot of it, even if I never was in it myself. Got here. Took the pardon. Did therapy. Finished school. Got a degree. Became a cop. Promoted to Sergeant. You get some people who look at you funny when you first arrive, but ten years on, no one gives a damn. It doesn't get held against you. Too many species on the island need to do illegal things to survive out in the narrow reality. Too many people are from alternate dimensions or strange planets or who even knows. The island accommodates."

He seemed like a nice kid, even if he was a lot stressed. Angelo wasn't the sort of person who got ruffled when people snapped at him, and that was probably a good thing.

That was surprising, to say the least. Apparently, rehabilitation was much more successful here on Manta Carlos than back in Halcyon. Hearing about Breakneck, who supposed had been rehabbed from his villainous ways, only to then blow up Basilio Genovese's house in some misguided attempt of heroism. Compared to this man who had been a murderer who shaped up and became an officer of the law. It gave him a small bit of hope for the future. His future.

"That's... reassuring. Thank you, Officer Genovese. You've been very reassuring despite... well, everything. I appreciate it." Gabe muttered, looking a little humbled after this whole conversation. He had assumed the man was just like the police in Halcyon, just wanted to collar the criminals and call it a day. He looked towards Dani's door again, frowning slightly. He had been hanging out with her for the past two days on and off, with various degrees of success on her being the same ol' laserkid. He just hoped she'd be able to move past all of this and grow up a (mostly) normal kid.

"It's not an issue," Angelo said. "If Little Angelo likes you, means we'll probably get along just fine. He's got good taste in friends, and-"

He cut himself off when the door swung open, with a nurse sticking her head out and blinking at the two of them, glancing between them as she did.

"Sergeant Genovese?" She finally said, focusing on Angelo.

"That'd be me," he said. "Here for that paperwork?"

"Why don't you stay here," the nurse said. "I'll send her guardian out to handle things with you, and I think Mister Vega might want to join her inside?" She gave Gabriel an expectant look as she did.

Gabe gave the nurse a weak smile. She had seen him enough to know when he was visiting. She was kind, but he couldn't help but feel awkward at being singled out with that look. He looked to Officer Genovese, still awkwardly smiling as he rose to his feet.

"Well, I suppose this is where we part ways, Officer Genovese. I guess if you see Angelo, tell him I say 'hi' or something." He debated on shaking the man's hand, but the stirring laserkid had caught his attention. He quickly slid to the side of the nurse and wandered into the room. "And hopefully we meet under nicer circumstances. Have a good day, Officer Genovese."

And with that, he quickly made his way to Dani to hopefully give her a much better day compared to the one's she had prior.
