The word care sticks out in Dylan's mind as Jason says that. He knows his bond to the Venom symbiote back home isn't the same as the one it had shared with his father; He's felt that same comparison flit through the Symbiote's mind multiple times.

His own bond as Venom was... well, to use the obvious term, parental. The symbiote often seemed keen to take a backseat, allowing Dylan to learn and grow at his own pace, while providing support (both emotional and physical) when needed. They talked, they bantered. They were family.

Its absence now leaves an emptiness in Dylan.

"I'm glad you understand, at least. About symbiote bonds."
