[If Auron had any idea of what Shinji had actually gone through, he would have been WAY more upset. All he has is a few ideas that it wasn't the greatest.
He appreciates the touch on his shoulder. It's also the words. The specific words. Oh, other people had helped, but they didn't quite understand Auron's fears. Regis certainly did and could empathize, given what happened to his own son.
As is it, Auron sniffs a little a nods. The overcast skies start to snow, but not a blizzard of grief. Just a few flakes every so often. Sad but contained.]
You know the strangest thing? I had randomly helped some other kid when he first got here and he just abruptly came back and knitted me a whole bunch of things. This other kid looks like maybe he needs someone to look after him too. A little bit.
Like, maybe you're right. I guess you have to just believe. That's really what started me wanting to be so involved in his life. Because I wanted to believe in him.
So even though I wish he was here, wish I could take on every pain of his so he'd be here, I think there's other kids that might need looking after. Maybe it's sad to lose them, but it's not so bad to just believe in more of them as they arrive?
