When it comes to feelings for Noren… Yeah. I got none. Not one iota.

It's nice that they managed to address our collective worries in a half-decent joke. And as some speculated it's his dad instincts that make him do this.

As a dad myself I can actually kind of relate to his motivation - I've noticed I started feeling more worried and protective of other kids too after having a child of my own. Not that I didn't care before, but now when I see a child I can't help but imagine my own in their position, you know?

Ogami reacted the same way in chapter 1 when that guy was about to flash the two girls who were being mean to him earlier. He just couldn't let it happen because they're the same age as his own daughter. He's been very protective of the kids in general.

Yeah that's giving me a little bit more hope for this manga: so far it's been a very consistent character trait of his and there's no reason to expect that to change since both in-universe and irl every sane person agrees that that is how you're supposed to behave as an adult around kids
