The kids don’t seem to know they’re getting adopted until the day the adopter(s) come to sign the papers and get them (see: Selkie, Heather, Amanda), and Tony came with Lillian so it’s not a case of being in a new family and moving away. Seems that he’s running away, and wanted to tell someone before he left, but not too many people so he wouldn’t be stopped.
I’m self convinced that Tony would not be telling Selkie that he’s running away, for any other reason than that he really liked her, and enjoyed teasing her to cover it up. This leads me to suspect that he really cares, and wants to part on good terms, or better terms. I wonder where he thinks he’s gonna go. Not old enough for the cops to give up, but lotta places for a kid to hide in Montreal.
Well, that wasn’t what I expected.
That was…unexpected…
Of the things I was expecting, this is not one of them.
Uh, is this a goodbye as in getting adopted, or is he saying he’s planning on running away?! 😬

That’s what I’m afraid of. 🙁
CLIFFHANGERRRRRRRR. YOU EVIIILLLLL
He got his draft papers. Going to the trenches in Passchendale.
That was out of nowhere
Not really. Does (Tony feel that)* anyone likes him, in-universe?
*The really important bit…
