yeah I feel you po re the story of hermes.. the recognition and other stuffs.. even though eyes lang nakikita if he misses someone so very dearly surely he will notice it at once may not be on the dot but eventually he will but like what you said maybe at that time because he is still hurting that why he never noticed .. and the fact that ale seems to be fond of serenity ale even called her "mama".. but syempre din po miss, may iba't ibang perception ang bawat tao, maybe miss author have different point how to dealt with this kind of situation...
