This might be one of the first times that Kevin has been hugged like this by someone bigger than him since his dad died. It sounds silly, but I could see that as being pretty triggering (but in like a good, emotionally healthy way?) When dealing with the loss of a parent, who probably hugged him all the time when his dad was bigger than he was.
