"Yeah, I didn't understand that part." Kubo looked curiously at Tadashi. "People like romantic stories. Especially here."
As the child of a great romance, Kubo still had a solid disconnect between the high and noble story of his mother leaving her cold and heartless heaven for the warmth of her husband's love, and his brief experience of how Mother and Father acted when they were actually in the same vicinity, making dumb faces at each other and giggling at absolutely nothing Kubo could understand. Tales of romance were interesting and engaging and not the same thing as when one's parents were being weird at each other.
