He didn't like her because she was just a wooden person with a fragment of her soul, but he gave her his name because it was through her hands.
He doesn't like her, because in his heart she will always be just like her, not much like her, but he cares for her and protects her again and again, because she has a little bit of similarity, even if it's just a little bit.
He didn't like her because she didn't think like her and treat people like that, but he tolerated her again and again because she was a part of her left to him.
