They are very selfish. They didn't want him to go home. That many years he couldn't see he's parents is unbearable to him, he yearns to see he's parents, can't believe they used him over and over again. And that college counselor if he's that strong why not he's the one that go in their and fight and not him.
I'm glad rescue came even though it's late he used up all the energy. He had.
