Enjoys wouldn't exactly be the word, but his canon shows that one of the few times he was outside, he tossed a baseball back and forth with his brother. Hard to tell if he enjoyed it or not, the thing only smiled when he read, but again, that's not a very interactive activity, so I'd be back where I started...
LOL he actually does go about the church quite a bit and encourage people to light candles for prayer, and uses the censer, but that might be assuming people go INTO the church, which could be presumptuous on my part, and ultimately limiting him to the same CR (people who would go into the church to see him or be around Abel.) So maybe it would be better for him to be out of the church?
His loss at Para is that he can't find his way/directionally impaired/etc, but that would only cause trouble for the people trying to thread with him. I could change his loss? I always found his lack of direction endearing, but it could be annoying to others. What if the loss took out chunks of traumatic memory, would that help? I just feel like it takes a huge chunk out of who he is, but if it helps, I can try to work around it?
I can give him toys and things to play with, books to read, but reading is sort of solitary unless he's being read to, and his CR does so much of that already. He's used to non-material comforts, but those are sort of hard to play through without it seeming incredibly one-sided. He could offer to give things? As it is he's trying to make cakes for people, like he learned from Jyuushiro, but that's not exactly interactive either.
It feels like I need to offer something as reward for dealing with him, and he doesn't really have much to offer. Goddamn, I suck at this. Just smiles and things aren't really satisfying, since the reaction I tend to get is that people seem sad that inconsequential things make him smile, but I'm not sure what physical things he can give them. And, weirder, in-game to have him suddenly turn around in such a way might be alarming? Or, given the nature of the game, I guess that's sort of how those things work. It'd take too long to phase it in, and I don't want to make anyone wait anymore.
