If you want to get nitpicky and technical about it, I suppose. But back home, if such relationships end, it's usually our own decision to end them. That isn't the case here.
It is. I don't typically attach myself to people if I don't intend on staying. Back home, everything is structured in such a way that I usually know what tomorrow will bring. Or, it was.

Even when you believe everything will be the same tomorrow, there is always the chance that something untoward will happen instead. BREW just... acts with more frequency...

Hmm... I dunno, I don't think about 'Hey what if my Mom gets hit by a bus today?' either. [Oddly for his words he doesn't seem like he's trying to be sarcastic]
I suppose the fact that anyone might be sent home at any time -- or die here, god forbid -- is more of a reason to make the most out of every moment you have with the friends and acquaintances you make here. It is much of the same at home, I find, only of stronger intensity here. [Since he's had a bunch of his friends and loved ones die on him.]
It is painful either way. But for me, I have learned that it is worse to part ways regretting that you were not able to do one thing or another with the person in question.

Relationships are what you make of them regardless of where you live.

And they're not. It's out of our control.

If they're not here, it means they've gone home, after all.
