He doesn’t understand at all what convinced him to raise the child. Maybe it was his immunity to the curse. Maybe it was the fact the child wanted to be with him. Maybe it was because something resonated within him to the child. Maybe it was the boy’s cries of "papa’ and "why does papa not want me’ or it was the words "am I a freak like uncle says unable to be loved’. For some reason he turned around and scooped the healing child back into his arms before walking away.
