I wonder why they didn't want to go back?
Exactly,
lets see....treated like humans with a bit of respect and the food is probably better too.
Plus, maybe they also want to stay and protect the younger ones too.
My thoughts...if they were allowed to stay til maturity (for them 18) at the yfz...then I wonder (hope I am wrong) but these two young men may be ‘chosen ones’ who were not abandoned at 14 or 15. So maybe they are using their ‘leadership’ skills and keeping the younger boys in spiritual line...and act in absentia for their ‘fathers.’ I hope I’ wrong and you’re right...
