[Kylo's previous experience of care, of course, was a little different— the people who professed to care about him had sent him away, attempted to kill him, then abandoned him to the dark.
He does know that isn't normal, though. No. What's normal is some strangely performative declaration of care, usually followed by nothing of useful substance or action. Being there for someone, for whatever benefit that's supposed to be.]
I'm reliably informed the standard, for people you care about, is to tell them you're "there if they ever need to talk". More of a demand for acknowledgement or inclusion disguised as an offer of comfort than your chosen method of staging a highly dangerous inter-dimensional rescue attempt.
