Pretty much the only consistent upside for him is how music is pretty in two ways.

A German violinist?! What's next, a British dancer?

What a beautiful soul/spirit Wolfe has.
I just realized: he's making the audience's spirits more peaceful as well, right?
It sure seems that way, although like others I'm still not sure what Jack sees is their spirit so much as their emotions... But I have to admit, I'm slightly curious to know what Jack sees when he looks at Wolfe regularly, that convinced him to travel with him. Wolfe seems like a decent guy, but all I've noticed Jack seeing before is negative emotional aspects...
I think you may have answered your own question a bit there, chap.
I think Wolfe must have a peaceful/beautiful emotions/spirit in general, so that's why Jack can tolerate (and maybe even enjoy?) his company.
Lovely page. It's nice to see such a fulfilling spirit as opposed to what we've seen so far.
wherever you go, let your spirit show, for it will glow better then you know, like a radiant halo. So bring friends in tow, it is brighter together you know?
So be ready when that ill-wind will blow, so you don't get got in the storm's shadow.
Find me on DA today, and just here to say I love this comic and Darken by the way.

So, does Jack contribute to the performance?
I think it's less that Jack's seeing their souls and more that he's seeing their emotional states.
Maybe Jack's role is to deal with hecklers? I know from my days busking that they can be total buzzkills.
Also, this page is really beautiful, both visually and in the story it tells.
I guess he can also mind the money too so Wolfe can concentrate on
playing without someone sneaking by and helping themselves to wayward
coins...? Hehe, yeah somehow I imagine someone heckling Wolfe and simultaneously ruining the spiritual atmosphere might find themselves the sudden target of some rather sharp words from Mal anyways, huh? ; p
I hope you know that this page has firmly cemented these two as my brOTP
ikr?

D'aw
I adore this page
...Wow...this page made me tear up a bit...just...I can't really think of a good way to explain what I feel about it haha...
Talk about lifting spirits...
this was the page where I started shipping them for real
I've always really liked the colors in Panel 5. Reminds me of a Chagall painting.
It's hard to steal the pot when O'Malley can see the intent coming...
Still in love with this page.
Awwwww
