[Hiro's a younger brother, and he doesn't have the same discomfort with being taken care of that Tadashi has and had always had. One day he might grow out of it, but for now she's free to mother him like she used to when he was smaller, when he'd come and she'd have to patch him up and wrap him in a blanket on her lap. If he could still feel safe in her arms all these years later, then that's all she needs.
So for now, she pets his hair and lets him hide against her.]
We can. We're in this together. You might be a Big Hero out there, but I'm still your aunt.
[ He might be getting her shoulder just a little bit wet here. And trembling a little in her arms - but it's out of relief more than anything. He's so glad she's here. ]
Yeah. You are. I ... I don't know what I'd do without you.
[She knows him well enough to know what the tears are from. He's her little boy, no matter how old or tall he may get, and she's glad she can be here for him.]
