A long long time ago, while I was young and strong... I took in my friend's orphan--Barnaby.

Uncle Maverick!

He had ruddy red cheeks, cute green beany eyes, little pink wings. He was practically an angel bestowed upon me by God.

Oh... Barnaby! My little angel!

But one day, a demon called Kaburagi stole his heart. From then on he left my side...

My little angel... took a wrong turn

I'm heartbroken...

To get my angel back, I wrote a long letter saying that I had fallen ill and required his care.

I'll be back soon!

Kurr~

Uncle! Are you still alive?

Huh? Uncle, are you okay?

Barnaby was still a good kid! He returned on the double after receiving the letter. Well... he might have opened the door a little too forcefully. Cough.

Oh, you're talking about Mr. Kaburagi

Actually, I'm gonna become a dad soon! Each day fills me with happiness and glee!

It's nothing, nothing, this little bit of hurt.

Is your body okay?

Your return has made me happy, Barnaby.

I wanted to keep the little angel beside me forever, but the reality of things always grinds my gears.

By the way Barnaby, how goes your days with that Tiger bird?
