[The Batter is the last person that should be here and he knows it. Prior to this he only knew one child, his creator. Hugo. And maybe they didn't know each other all that well to begin with. Consumed by the darkness of a sickness the Batter couldn't fix besides
"From now on, there will be no more darkness."
...besides that. Maybe this was a situation where he should smile but the Batter can't bring himself to do it again. Maybe he should ask why she was there and why the emotions effected her far more then what those in the lab coats would do. Perhaps that was a similarity between the two of them.
That the emotions of others were more effective ways of hurting them, a child far too tuned into them and a man beginning to understand just what was going on his mind.
Blood and cuts heal. Those don't.
He can't think of anything he could do besides let her simply sit beside him quietly. So, as always, the Batter simply asks.]

I do not know what to do in this situation.
[He's not Seto. He never will be.]
But if there is something, I will try.
