"No, he doesn't care about us." That much is true. He's fascinated and entertained by their antics, and certainly, he finds some of them more fun to poke than others, but it's all out of selfish desire. "But he does care about himself. And it's clear to me that it bothers him, not knowing who he really is. It would bother me, too. I wouldn't be able to rest until I rediscovered myself."

Which makes the solution clear, even if it's still an impossible feat. "Maybe, if he has to face up to who he actually is, he won't want to continue this way. If we're very lucky, maybe we could find whatever soul he was meant to have and force it back." He's been without one for far too long.
