I like to think that Even went from being a reluctant dad (“Can’t anyone else watch the child?” “Just sit over there and play with the microscope. Daddy’s busy.”)

To an overprotective dad who truly cares about Ienzo and might not be the best parent but he still means well. (“Ienzo! Ienzo where are you?!” “You know you can’t leave the castle without an adult; it’s too dangerous!” “Don’t forget to brush your teeth or you’ll get cavities. What? I’ve already reminded you two times tonight?”

Ienzo gets annoyed with him but understands that Even’s concern is the scientist’s way of saying “I love you.”
