Otoha crouches down to eye level for Emporio and puts a hand on the kid's shoulder as long as he doesn't move away. "... It's good that you at least have those memories." He was the cause of his own mother's death, after all.

"You got him? Good." ... Should he be encouraging that? "I... uh." How does he relate to normal kids? Emporio isn't normal, but... pretty well-adjusted by Otoha's standards. Which probably aren't the best standards. "... You turned out pretty well. At least as far as I can tell. I'm sure she's proud of you."

... That's what he's supposed to say, right?
