It's amazing how you saw so much I hadn't meant to put in there, I appreciate your analysis and final take away from this. It is very insightful to be so sincerely misunderstood, and gives me a lot i can learn from going forwards <3 and it is of course a true thing, that if you let bullies drive you away from things, you have only handed them what they wanted, although that is a way is liberating, instead of the things you love being a shackle, the chains yanked by tormentors, one is freed to make their own way, and be their own selves. By having the world known taken away, the bully may gain that world for selves, but it was only ever a small view. And as you say, doubting the myth which had defined his life, and displacing the pain of torment with the lesser pain of a new start, a person can be liberated and find a whole new life in the wider world.
