Noah had been bullied as a kid all through his childhood. This isn't something anyone knows about other than Sarah, but he holds it with him to this day. Bigger kids like to push around the really sickly ones, and he was sick all the time before he became an angel.

"That... was impressive," he comments to Daneca when she gets those teenagers to flee without raising her voice. Noah can't quite keep his jaw from locking in anger despite the fact the situation is over now. He would have been an asshole and raised his voice to those teenagers.

Noah hands a balloon he found from one of the vendors to the kid before he goes. There goes his asshole reputation.
