[ Makima's answer indeed leaves much room for interpretation - and interpreting Daniel does, taking her answer as her probably not having met Robby personally. He hasn't seen her too much around the dojo before, so it doesn't surprise him. Maybe Robby just mostly saw Mob here, and hasn't gone over to his place too much.
Still, Daniel easily answers, apparently not minding having to explain. ]
Not-- biologically, I mean. [ He smiles, just a touch sheepish, like he doesn't want Makima to get the wrong idea. ] But he's like a son to me. He's been through a lot, with many people letting him down.
[ Like the people he just spoke of, being the implication. ]
He's the main kid I'm trying to help. Back home already, but here in this place too, since he's also here.
