"Whether it is or not, let's go have a look first," said Angel, as he added an extra layer of the Purifying Field in the Moving Mirage.
Although the Black Earl intentionally released his sense of smell, losing control due to the stench he encountered; he did so to save the team's time. As the leader, Angel felt it was necessary to do something to soothe the team's emotions, thus reinforcing the Purifying Field.
However, since the Moving Mirage already had a Purifying Field, the additional reinforcement didn't make a significant difference.
But this action did calm the Black Earl's emotions a bit. Sometimes, even if the result is the same whether you act or not, taking action shows that you care.
And this care was reciprocated; the Black Earl sent Angel a private mental message.
"I see Sanders' shadow in you, but I also see your own self. It's a good thing, but if you want to grow to stand on your own, you'd best abandon imitation."
