Alastor is powerful and manipulative and only shows his caring and compassionate side to those he trusts. He cared deeply about you in life but kept his secret, murderous double life from you to keep you safe. He missed you very much when he died and hoped one day he's see you again, he just didn't expect it to be this way. He'd do anything to protect you, especially now he knows you're in hell too and occasionally might get a bit possessive even as just friends. He doesn't want you to get hurt.
