Flame has developed a bit of a rebellious nature after he joined the Sons, it's his way of coping with things no one else would understand.

No one but Ash, that is.

Flame doesn't think anyone in the world understands him more than Ash does, though he can’t ever let him know that.

Ash isn’t one to hold that against Flame, he knows about what happened, and he understands his view on the matter.

They gaze at you, so pretty coming off the stage after your performance.
