[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 8912382, member: 58416"] I can somewhat agree with having time to mature into something more. Though, that's tied into what I said in my previous posts. He [I]was[/I] making an effort to evolve into something more. A lot of his story was showing an irresponsible boy maturing into being somewhat responsible, caring about others, and making some attempt to hold himself accountable. He certainly still had flaws, but steps were being taken to go through the archetypal story of a boy growing into some semblance of an adult. That's part of why I question whether or not he was saved by how things turned out in the end. Everyone around him gained something from his struggle and the journey to save him. I'm not so sure that he himself gained a whole lot from what he endured nor from being taken back home to a boyish state again. Sure, he's alive, so that's generally viewed as a positive. And sure, sometimes life doesn't work out the way you want, but I think there's potential for his rescue to be a saving grace for everyone except for him. I think glossing over how that might be a struggle (especially in light of everyone else growing and growing closer but not him) or waving it off as not potentially being a real struggle is an odd message from a show which highlights the struggles faced in so many other aspects of life. Even in-show, there are points at which the morality of Tir Asleen is questioned, as are the norms with which Airk and Kit grew up. So, is it a wholly good thing to be reset and returned to that whole everyone else around you has progressed and changed? Those are relevant questions to consider, especially in the context of his attempts (no matter how flawed) to grow from boy to man. [/QUOTE]
