[His tears, they come. They're all drenched in Sabo's coat as he continues to comfort the young lad. He peers over at the gripping of the coat, the tight tug of his borrowed hat, and the wet stains he felt over the kid's sorrow. You must've suffered a really hard life, he thought. It may be tragic but he knows... he knows so well. The kids who go through such a traumatic situation where parents get beyond abusive or do things to hurt their kids. These children end up either really hesitant about discussing their life, fearing that saying anything bad would punish them - or resent it really bad. He was like this when he had been rescued by the Revolutionary Army. Despite the memory loss at the time, he didn't want to go back to his parents. He just knew it was that traumatic that it was etched into his brain.
Though in this kid's case.. he has this pushover attitude where he himself doesn't think he's any good at all. It's not how kids should think, or act. They should play, have fun. Have the freedom they can to make their dreams come true. The parents of his must've been really harsh on him. He can tell. His parents weren't any different. It was just borderline abusive, but the public doesn't see that.
He holds tightly to the small blond child, patting his back from all the tears he had been keeping to himself for who knows how long. Sabo makes the "shhhh" sounds as he does so.]
All you can do... right here, right now. [While it's only temporary, he feels.. he should at least enjoy the small freedom he has here compared to whatever was at his home.] You just need to believe.
