Then

After the funeral, as they head back to the teapot, he takes care of others' meal, making something simple and chill. He notices Kio is not present at dinner, he is always in his mind after what happened.
He eats something quickly then leaves the others to look for him. He wants to be of comfort for him, someone he can cling to now that Martin is gone. Other than his relationship with Martin, he thinks Kio has no one else in the world that would take him, so he is even more motivated.

MORAX He places his hand on his shoulder. "I know now you might not feel comfortable, but give us a chance and we won't disappoint."
Jing Yuan was probably right.
"It might be so in a way, but we have a Goddess of Death, taking care of our dear ones' souls in the Halls. It is not so far from the truth. Martin didn't commit any crime, Yoryon certainly sent him straight to his resting place.
I consider them all mine by now. Chan, Cyno, WooPil, Aron...we are adopting even that poor child we found with your father..."

Kiorii «I think that it is a strange idea.» Says the kid who likes to transform into a bandone.
«Why should I trust this Goddess of Death? I do not trust anyone. I can not know for sure that they will treat my dad well. If I ever have a way to find out and it turns out they did something wrong to him…» Not even he knows what he would do, but probably an unnecessary and useless mess like in Snezhnaya.
«And WooPil is going to be happy about it?»

MORAX "It might look like it, but you really haven't to worry. As long as you can overcome Cyno, others are just chilo and nice. Not that Cyno isn't too...it is just...his attitude..." XD
"Why shouldn't you trust her? Do you need me to go to the Halls and require to give him special treatment?" He sure could try, but he has the feeling Zimkesha would be an asshole.
"Well...I think they all have to get used, but I am very positive regarding him. He is a bit shy and sensitive, so try to be understanding with him."

Kiorii «Cyno does not worry me in the slightest.» If Cyno was wearing his Egyptian clothes he could even find him interesting. «He scares others with his attitude?»
He raises a brow. «You could, or would, do that? I doubt that they would change their attitude, just because you ask them to, though.» Luckily it's not up to Zimkesha how to treat the souls!!
«I think I understand him quite well. He came to the Simulated Universe, after all. I know him.» Woopino and Aron are his friends because they went to the SU.

MORAX "Yes, very often...he is a good person but he gives that kind of vibe...I am glad you can see through his armour.
I could and I would if needed, but I believe I would rather risk to annoy her than push her to give him a special treatment. I know them well.
Fine, I'm glad...you young ones really like that SU thing." He sighs.
