He was a strange kid.
Always failing in school, getting beaten up by Jaian and taunted by Suneo, getting into trouble...and yet, Shizuka adored him, and Doraemon had to admit that Nobita did have some strange talents. Like shooting, or making things with string. And he was a kind kid at heart.
Doraemon had worried immensely about what he was going to find when he stepped out of the drawer. And the gormless kid's reaction was pretty worrying.
But now, Doraemon wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. Not without Nobita, anyway. One day, they will soar through space together.
