I agree with this train of thought. He was going through a lot, things that could have caused even the most extroverted kids to become introverts. However, he does not strike me as a character who was ever extroverted. It seems he has always been a shy person regardless of his many issues. I have the same temperament so I can relate to this behavior.Ethan Howe wrote: ↑03 Sep 2021, 00:33 I think that having special powers caused him the problems and made him fear that other people will see him as a stranger. His mothers failure to motivate and talk to him about his powers also caused this.

Perhaps Rion is aware of he and his mother's nomad history and realizes that any relationships he forms may be transient and would be a needles consumption of his emotional energy. Perhaps, sitting at the back, isolating himself, and being insignificant was more of a coping mechanism than an intentional action meant to drive others away from him?Sushan wrote: ↑03 Sep 2021, 00:37I don't think a teenager need any assistance from his family or teachers to make new friends. One can be a less forward fellow, but a few days time is enough to make new friends. Seemingly Rion has chosen to isolate himself by even sitting at the back corner, looking out the window, clearly refusing any contact. So others may have left him be alone, and it has made him forever alone.
