Keeping the boy close would allow Hana to carefully monitor his development under the system's watch. It would be a fascinating comparison—a way to see exactly how quickly a dragon-hybrid like Zariyah grew compared to a pure human infant.
The boy was less than a day old out of stasis, and Zariyah was only a month old. The developmental difference between them wasn't too large yet.
More than the data, though, Hana thought of the best for the child and not just for comparison. She would love and protect this boy just as she would love and protect Zariyah, ensuring the child never grew up feeling devoid of true parental affection.
"I will adopt him right away," she said, her voice firm and ringing with an absolute finality. She looked at the four powerful predators standing around her. "So from now on, treat that child the way you would treat Zariyah. He is part of this family."
