He's been acting more on feelings rather than giving it an actual thought, ever since he befriended Leila. While it is a nice quality at first, it's astounding that the quality also shows his lack of realism to the extent that he only thinks of his wants rather than their needs.
Life ain't gonna shine down a huge rainbow on them everyday, even Leila knows the struggles of having no solid ground (her having to move on from house to house, until she found a home with Uncle Remmer).
So what I'm saying is, I can't believe it, but the author perfectly encapsulated Kyle as this "green flag" character, yet also turned that "good" quality into his somewhat downfall.
I was team Kyle but now omg, girl just be single like none of these boys are worth the hassle
