. He seemed to be resourceful and had the ability to keep his cool during stressful situations, as seen through his interactions with ghosts. He came off as friendly and polite regardless of rude or frightened responses he may get from people who are reacting to his prosthetic and was openly affectionate of his friends. Sal frequently offered a listening ear or kind word to others, even to those who have been unfriendly to him, as evidenced in "The Bologna Incident" when he comforted a crying Travis in the boy's bathroom. His compassion and willingness to help people regardless of their appearance or standoffish behavior was demonstrated time and again. Though he was a kind person, Sal was capable of snapping back at those who try to hurt him through the use of sarcasm. In "The Bologna Incident", his quick wit was demonstrated in response to bullying from Travis. He did not report the resulting punch in the face from Travis, however, and he did not correct comments made towards him out of ignorance rather than malice (such as when Miss Rosenberg misgenders him), suggesting that he didn't like confrontation. He also didn't seem to approve of violence, as he protested when his friends even jokingly threatened to kill Travis for bullying Sal. Whilst Sal is male, he doesn't seem to care how people perceive him, or about traditional gender roles, as evidenced by his traditionally feminine hairstyle, and how he didn't bother to correct Miss Rosenberg when she referred to Sal as a girl upon meeting him. In addition, upon meeting Megan for the first time, she tells him, "Pigtails are for girls, silly!" to which he responds that nobody ever said only girls could wear their hair in pigtails and that he likes the style, too. As an adult, Sal appeared to be significantly more jaded and less trusting of others and opened himself to others with great hesitation.
