viewing from q!cellbit side, he often talked about how he wished he could have spent time with bobby as his father. He griefed the moments he could have had with him. And the affection he had for bobby continued to grow because he knew roier missed him, richarlyson missed him. He was very excited to see bobby again because he would finally have the opportunity to interact with him and call him his son. Because this is what cellbit would like to have happened: to do his tasks, being part of the same family, go on adventures together. He realized again that everything he is doing now is because they took this opportunity away from him.
There is still a part of him he wanted to share with bobby: the loving father he could have been to him. Unconsciously, bobby has become a part of cellbit's life that he can't have but lives on through a love ruled by hope and longing.
