Meta, though he can’t remember, see’s how much of an impact he made in Bate’s life. The reason why Atka showed Meta all of those horrible things was for that exact reason.
Everything up to this point that Bate’s been though before Meta arrived completely changed him. He’s become so distraught and mortified of being close to anyone that tries to befriend him. After losing so many in his life, he believes if he tries to become attached and happy again, it’ll all slip away like before. And it’s been hard for him ever since. As much as he wants to be happy, that particular fear always sets in. So when Meta tries to be around him in the later years, Bate does his best to act annoyed and grouchy to push him away. (Bate eventually stopped visiting Meta while he was still a baby. He realized how much he’s grown attached to the little Puff, and didn’t want Meta to feel attached as well) Though he did keep a lookout from afar every now ’n then.
