BlueBlazer,
Oh no, I believe you. He can come off cold at times. He's a mix of his mother and I.
Nahyuta is like that because he's protective of his loved ones, especially his younger siblings. Apollo isn't any different, even if he is only younger than him by a year and a few months. He still has memories holding Apollo when he was just a baby. Those kind of memories never leave you, you know. I should know.
Rayfa has never carried that responsibility or has ever held someone weak and helpless that depends on her for everything. Because I was always in hiding as a wanted man and had to disappear, Nahyuta has always had to look after Apollo when he was very young. Same with Rayfa. Not that I wanted Yuta to carry such a huge responsibility, but under Ga'ran, those two would've been taken and punished for my crimes had I not disappeared at times.
I can promise you if Rayfa had the similar experience Yuta had, she'd have turned out far colder than Yuta. Had Apollo been given the same experience as Yuta, he'd have taken both kids with him to America and abandoned me altogether. Knowing you're responsible for the life of this little baby that is the size of your hand changes you. I started this rebellion because I thought of the future of my children, not myself. When your life revolves around the future of the younger ones, it changes you.
