Endearing attempt.
For the noticeable grammar flaws and weird sprite movements at times (and at one line of dialogue, missing sprite), the characterization felt adroit for what moments we got of it. There was some lurid purple prose at the start, but restraint is another skill that's learned through practice. There was an authentic nature to the thoughts, the feelings, comparable in narrative to what one might think of for the opening in Night in the Woods. It was starting to get endearing, pulling at authentic sensations of the return home. It's that stupid philosophy cliche-- can you cross the same river twice? No. The narrator wasn't the same man this time around, and nor were the others, even if they had changed less than him.
Good first attempt!
