Kubo could understand what his mother was getting at, with wanting to ease Hanzo - Beetle - his father into this gently, but.
Unfortunately, she was working against Kubo's many years of wanting so much to meet his father, and his two years of having known that he had.
And had missed out on having any more than a few seconds by not paying attention to his surroundings.
For a second, Kubo looked all around, scanning the area for threats. If this were a dream, he didn't want it to turn into the nightmare he'd already lived. He saw nothing but passengers, milling about their own business, no threat of enmity in any of their gestures.
Just his father, confused, but alive, and his mother, doing her best to keep things peaceful and calm and orderly in a way he just couldn't keep up.
Kubo bolted for his father, doing his best to throw his arms around his armored exoskeleton, as much of a hug as he could manage. He'd grown, but his father still dwarfed him, and it didn't much matter.
