...You don't think so...? I think you're looking at it too subjectively. I mean...you know what you felt. Your burdens and hardships but...

I see six people who love one another. And maybe it's not the cleanest or most traditional love but...

[He takes a steadying breath, his voice quiet.]

I've...seen a lot of families. After I was orphaned I was...bounced around a lot. People didn't...want me. But I used to watch them. To learn how I should act. What I should be...

And I learned that family is...well, it's messy. People argue. They do things differently. Everyone has their own way but at the end of the day they...they come together for something. Love for each other. Love for the world. A common purpose, even if that purpose is just...coexisting.

Or...saving a kingdom. A world.

A family...they don't have to be the same or always see eye-to-eye. People are...jagged and lumpy. They've got weird prongs and bent spikes. They're not meant to fit together...

A family happens when they do. When they compliment each other. And...accept each other.

...Faults and all.

Acteon...Acteon was my family for all the time that I knew him. Before...Before I had to leave. But things still felt...I dunno. I'm not sure I was ever able to be truly honest with him.

...Like...Like this.

[His eyes never leave the portrait and he holds Zelda a little tighter with each passing moment. Each word pouring from his heart, stopping just short of admitting that he wants what she had, even though she lost it.]

[It's scary.]

[It hurts.]

[Because for the first time he's acknowledging just how truly lonely he's always been.]
