Whilst unconscious aboard the sandsteamer ''Flourish'', [[Vash the Stampede (anime)|Vash]] dreamed about Rem, she was singing "Sound Life."{{Storylink|B. D. N.}}After the ''Flourish'' was stopped from falling of Enora Cliff, [[Kaite Trevisick|Kaite]] and Vash went atop the sandsteamer to watch the sunrise. Kaite began singing "Sound Life," which surprised Vash. Kaite became defensive, thinking that Vash was mocking him, saying it was an old song but that it was good and he liked it. Vash agreed that it was a good song, and Kaite continued singing. Vash thought of how Rem loved the song and began to cry. Kaite stopped singing and yelled at Vash for making fun of him.{{Storylink|AND BETWEEN THE WASTELAND AND SKY...}}

==Biography==
He was the mayor of [[Warrens City]]. He spoke with [[Meryl Stryfe (anime)|Meryl Stryfe]] and [[Milly Thompson (anime)|Milly Thompson]] in his office, cheerfully telling them that there was no sheriff in his town as nothing big would ever happen there and that the worst they had to deal with were the antics of drunks.

He jokingly said that if Vash was really that great, he'd like to be attacked by him once ''<sup>sub</sup>''/that "''it'd be kinda fun to have him attack and spice things up around here.''"''<sup>dub</sup>''


One night while recovering from his injuries, Vash sat under the stars and began quietly singing "Sound Life" to himself. [[Meryl Stryfe (anime)|Meryl]] began singing along as she walked over to join him. Surprised, Vash stopped singing and Meryl continued singing the verse before sitting beside him.{{Storylink|LIVE THROUGH}}
The following day, Warrens City was attacked by [[Mob leader|a man claiming to be Vash the Stampede]] and [[Mob leader's gang|his gang]]. The mayor watched from a nearby building's staircase as the criminals hijacked the armored bank truck and demanded all the money from the town's bank.{{Storylink|PEACE MAKER}}
