Well, I think Gato is a relatively selfless character, since he did give up his life to save the youkai Hazel was trying to off... and even if he wasn't to begin with, what else does he have now? But, certainly, he doesn't want Hazel to fuck up other people's lives like he fucked up his XD;; But yeah... Hazel really fails to understand when people (Filbert, Gato) really do love him. I feel like he's looking for someone to jump up and say like "I NEED YOU! I LOVE YOU" and Filbert was trying to teach him to love himself, and Gato only speaks when Hazel tells him to... XD;;;

I HOPE SO 8D HAZEL HAZEL HAZEL HAZEL HAZEL!
