Children are the only hope we have at a better future than the present we're cursed in. In a child is the hope, the belief, the faith, that maybe we can build a house called Tomorrow, where all is well. The Blue Boy has that hope but also the inverse--when a child is hurt, abused, traumatized, what you have helped create is...something else. I didn't have the best childhood, though no one did, and I experienced a lot that I didn't have to. The Blue Boy has hope, but also danger, and anger inside. He is the youngest of The Deathless, and also the oldest. All at the same time.
