Tom nods to the comments and then adds to Isamu's comment. "Only while he's performing but he comes off the stages he's amped up. From how Aletayria explained it doesn't alter other people's emotions but expands and increases one's own emotions. Love, peace, happiness, and similar emotions are most effected unless his mood turns sour."

Tom looks away because the more he learned about what happened to Tommy the more it disturbed Tom on a basic level. "Newton is very old and controlled. Between his military training and what humans did to him, his emotions are not roused by many things any longer."

"Gin is a painkiller and anesthetic. The human equivalent of double dipping in opium and pain pills."
