I've been wary of breaching the subject of time and his being the Singularity. I haven't been advised as to whether he knows this is the case, so I tread more cautiously around the subject.

"We were advised that you were ... in need of help. So I'm here to do what I can for you. If you're struggling, I can support you. I am not the same incarnation of the person you knew, but I've been told how much he meant to you. Let me help you, Joe." I reach for one of his limp little hands.

I'll deal with Marvelous later.
