He's not used to seeing them so frail and scared -- it makes him want to be bigger, stronger, more reliable, and he has the conviction to do so. They're hesitant to depend on others, even him, even now. But that's fine. If they can't ask for support, he's more than willing to offer it to them on his own. ]
