[Hunter beams because he is just doing so well at this making friends thing. Wow, he's just been on a streak since winning over Willow and Gus!]
[And it feels good. Because he doesn't have his unc - doesn't have Belos anymore, who never cared about him in the first place.]
[Worse than wanting to serve his Emperor, he'd also loved Belos so much. He'd been kept isolated so he could love his fake family member with his whole heart, because who else was there to love? If he hadn't started collecting new people to care about, he'd have just feel so empty without new people to focus it on.]
[But now he has Willow and Gus and Luz and Amity. Now he has the flyer derby team. And in this world, he's maybe finding more people to fill the space where all his dedication is supposed to go.]
[Because it is supposed to go somewhere. Someone's meant to be there. Who even is he without being able to be something for someone?]
For what it's worth, I think you're doing pretty well. If you went a long time without friends and are still figuring things out, but are still at a place where you can try to help someone else.
