Summary: The first sign is so small, it’s not surprising that he misses it, in hindsight. After all, who considers it an ability to simply make other people smile by smiling at them?  -  Hob is the anthropomorphic personification of Hope. It takes him an embarrassingly long time to figure it out.

Recommendation: Oh man, oh man, oh man, I LOVE Hob as the personification of Hope. I saw a fanart and I knew that I needed that trope in my life and this is such a good example. Hob is just so wonderful. I love the Kindly Ones being firm on him not being a new brother. Yah! And him working with the other Endless. So good!
