This topic is something I keep thinking about, and I'd like to discuss it and try and think of better theories and thoughts by seeing what others have to say about it, my apologies if my ramblings aren't very structured.
We see in 364 that when the Boy transforms into Griffith and Griffith could for a brief moment could feel the emotions of the Boy, it's the boy's feelings but Griffith is for a moment feeling them I see it like waking up from a dream. I was wondering it's probably likely it's the same for the boy when the boy takes control it wouldn't be a tear symbolising the boys emotion of course, because knowing Griffiths emotions are pretty much non existent I was wondering if something bleeds into the boy for a moment in a similar way, could even be some secret knowledge and memories, for example he knows about the world tree and probably a lot of other things just inherently. he's also Femto, and the godhand have a lot of knowledge we don't know about and maybe the boy could tap into that and use that knowledge in a position way or subvert their plans.
The recurring thing is he wants to be with his parents, he's a child and he longs for his mother and father, but my counter to that he's just a simple child is he knows a lot of things and a lot of otherworldly things are very normal to him, he's lived within the interstice for a time and children absorb knowledge when they are young and the otherworldly things are natural to him meaning he's learning things normal children won't.
We can see throughout the series that when the boy is in control he seemingly has no scent of Griffith and he's a pure being, but it's in the transitional period of when they transform is when that bond becomes more fragile and both of them become closer as one being and even Griffith can feel the remnants of the Boys feelings, I don't really agree that people say it's just The Boys emotions on Griffith's dead face, he's definitely feeling something but it fades almost like a dream. his body of light looks more like Griffith than himself too, it's almost a fusion between the two like both of their astral bodies are in harmony but there physical bodies are at odds, he can also speak in that form, and the imagery of him quelling dark forces like the Berserk armour and this imagery of the boy dividing darkness I think is important to the Griffith Femto connection.
I really also like the idea of the true name being a factor, for example if Guts and Casca collectively name their son and he understands it, it could disrupt the bond between the boy and Griffith who knows.
And I think I've said this before but I believe that , it's possible Griffith at the very end will be imbued with his lost feelings and emotions he repressed even as a human due to the boy but like the tear it'll be for a moment as he's dying and he'll willingly separate himself from the boy. We know the Boy can manipulate Griffiths physical body when he's not in control it could also be the same for his emotional state a pure being like the boy could bring back something, I'm not taking it lightly that it was previously stated Griffith shed his last tear but here we are seeing Griffith shed a tear because of the boy, it's the boy's emotions but Griffith is shedding a tear, I think this is very important imagery.
