Godfery Shaw genuinely didn't understand.
In terms of human emotions and desires, Godfery's upbringing meant he was bound to have issues.
Seeing through life and death at a young age and leaving family behind, how could he be like a normal person?
He didn't even understand why, after the child was found, Emma Lewis and Robert Reed were so angry.
Even his affection for Nancy Allen, he didn't really know how to love, just instinctively doing things, some of which could even hurt her.
Sophie asked Nancy in confusion, "Even Sophie understands; why can't he?"
Nancy gently rubbed Sophie's head and said, "Because no loved ones cared about him, no family loved him."
Sophie suddenly stopped feeling sad for herself and began to feel sorry for Godfery, murmuring, "He's really pitiful."
Nancy acknowledged softly, "Yes, he really is pitiful."
"If I don't go next time on the odd-numbered days, do you think he'll be very upset?"
"I think appropriate sadness might help him learn emotions."
