Even if he doesn’t know the extent of the situation back in Naruto’s home, he’s been able to feel the weight and significance of it whenever the other boy mentions it.

So he just grins, a little crooked to one side, and reaches out to grab one of Naruto’s shoulders, shaking him just slightly, connecting and trying to say that he thinks he understands. ]
Yeah, I know. You’re a good guy, and you’ve got a lot to do. [ Then his hand drops, flipping up into the air carelessly instead. ] But how about next time you try something like, “hey Bolin, I got cut in half, and it really sucked, so let’s go get some ice cream”?
