[[Black Hat]] and [[Danish]] are more known for {{w|Psychopathy#Sociopathy|sociopathy}} than affection. In the first panel, they are affectionate towards each other, holding hands and using terms of endearment, i.e. {{w|danish pastry}} and {{w|pie}}. This behavior is common with couples but unexpected coming from these normally cynical characters. (However, [[433: Journal 5]] confirms that they are dating—so the surprise here is their unusually affectionate language rather than their relationship.) The entrance of [[Cueball]] and his subsequent discovery of them in this state prompts Black Hat and Danish to kill him. Their return to their more typical behavior contrasts with the first panel, presumably motivated by a desire to either dissimulate the warmer aspects of their personalities or their relationship altogether.
