Hidden from Ambrose's face was a grin of victory as The Boss embraced the young boy. "Being old is hard. I can't do a lot of things... But I can protect you, Ambrose." He ruffles the boy's hair. "You don't have to be afraid. I'll take care of you. I won't let you be sad anymore."

Ambrose nods and lets go, rubbing the tears from his eyes. "Thank you.." He smiles a bit as his hair is ruffled. "I'm...very glad that you're here." He chooses his words carefully. "I don't like anyone in this place. Except you. You're probably my only friend now..." He looks down sadly.
