There's a scene in the film that really stuck with me - TS standing outside a public phone booth, imagining how his family would react when they got his call, they were happy, they were excited, they had a lot of love pouring out. These are what he longs for, not that his mother has been addicted to studying insects, his father has turned a blind eye to his whimsy, and his sister can't understand his various behaviors that are different from ordinary people~ After all, he is just a child, and he also Craving for attention and love. "I'm not a carefree drifter, just a runaway 10-year-old" So it's not an award trip, it's an escape. He wanted to escape from that depressing home, from the depression brought on by his brother's unexpected death. He thinks he's going to welcome a whole new world, but in the end, it's the family that turns around and finds the best.
