His reasons are internally solid, but given the readers' likely background, I'm not sure they'll be sympathetic, you know? *makes face* Which, I am aware, makes it my job as the author to make it so, but still. Coming from a culture that emphasises individuality, individual wants, individual lives and rights, is "home is where they speak my language, talk about things the way I do, wear the right clothes, believe the right things and where I am part of an immortal collective" a "real reason"? It is for Piotr; he misses "belonging" like bleeding hell. And I look at him and go, dude, they SCREWED YOU, that's why you left, remember?
Sounds like my guy. His home life more or less sucked...his mom never seems to care about his (or anyone else's) feelings, half the time there isn't enough food or cigarettes, there's a bunch of crackheads in the area who fight all the time, etc etc etc. And he still moved back down there because when all is said and done, he has a kind of belonging there that he didn't get in Colorado where even cheap apartments cost outrageous amounts and nobody knows their neighbors. Of course, that doesn't mean living at home doesn't totally infuriate him at times... :P
