the fact that this absolute angel immediately wants to help is just… i’ll never be okay i’ll never recover i’m–
I just…this child must have come straight out of the womb trying to help people. It’s such a huge part of his motivation as an adult but like even as a kid!! He sees Rio sick and his immediate question is “can I help?” It isn’t “what is wrong with her/why is she sick?” He isn’t trying to figure out why (as you’d expect from a scientist) he’s trying to figure out how he can help, how he can fix it; he’s immediately empathetic. And that is not a realization I was ready for this early in the morning
