>>3907236it can be used to mean "presently" in very corporate settings, plus there's other meanings, but those are part of a larger sentence, when it's used as a standalone it's definitely "I'm home" and nothing else. he's "home" in a metaphorical sense.
>>3907188i know that rewatching the whole show is more obvious how he saved lulu because to him she looked like an abandoned child and kind of resonated with him (also the little scene of "going back home on xmas" and he looks sad, probably thinking that he and lulu have no home or family to come back).
i don't mind subtext so him not talking explicitly about his struggle is fine, we get episode 9 for that but one of my wish was to see smith in the bd novel to talk about this with isami
