[ Julie would not want to weigh Nanaue down with her own problems; it would feel too much like heaping them on a child. And even more than that, she doesn't like to expose her weaknesses to others, even those she loves. It's far too dangerous, to give people the keys to your pain.
She accepts "BABY" at face value as the creature's name, though she is still unclear why he would choose a seal as his pet(?), specifically. It is extremely cute, but it is not until it raises its flippers toward her that she fully melts — she suddenly so overwhelmed by how adorable it is that, for a fleeting instant, she can't decide whether to hold it or smash it against the floor.
Of course she goes with the former, lifting the thing and cradling it to her chest like a baby. Nanaue will have to excuse her for a moment, because she is stunned into silence by how adorable it is. She presses her nose into the plush, soft fur of its head, her eyes closed because she worries she might shed a tear. ]
