At the start of Chapter 2 of ''Zero,'' Michel notes that he goes through about 100 requests per month and is shocked at how he doesn't mind it. Part of his pitch to try to convince Arios to accept the promotion to S-Rank is that it would lighten his workload and [[WhenYouComingHomeDad give him more time to spend with his daughter.]] ''Azure'' reveals that Arios was driven by some ulterior motives for keeping so busy: firstly, it provided him with enough cover to secretly meet with his fellow Azure-Zero co-conspirators, as the inconsistencies in his reporting were simply chalked up to him being overwhelmed by his workload. Secondly, his workaholism was also a coping mechanism for the grief that weighed on him thanks to the "accident" that killed his wife and blinded his daughter.
