* '''Deconstructed''': Bob and Hiro eventually start a rocky relationship, and Bob's [[PetTheDog small, infrequent acts of real kidness]] are the reason Hiro, unlike everyone else, believes Bob to be a good man in spite of his constant verbal abuse.

Hiro breaks down.
* '''Reconstructed''': [[WhatYouAreInTheDark Bob accidentally hears the conversation and reacts in shock]].

He still has to reckon with the fact that he was generally abusive. He decides that he must make an effort to be reliably kind and that if he can't, he must leave Hiro for his own good.
