Although the film does not tell us whether prot is from K-pax or not, I firmly believe that prot is from an alien planet. Although that planet has no family, social relations, family, friendship, or love, everyone is just a tiny speck of the universe. Minister, if one leaves, no one will miss it; if one goes back, no one will be happy. Therefore, prot can only feel the preciousness of this friendship when he meets porter on earth. He has been wandering on earth for five years, in addition to completing his own task, he is trying to find a place for porter to live.
Finally prot told mark: "I'm going to tell you something, Mark. Something you don't know yet. But what we in K-PAX discovered long ago is that the universe expands, then shrinks back into shape, and then expands again. ...and so on and on and again but what you don't know is that when the earth expands again, what happens now will repeat the mistakes you made this time, and the next time you go through it will repeat every mistake you made.. will It comes up again and again...and it goes on and on...and never ends. So my advice to you is, if you're wrong, fix it right away, because once...will be yours forever."
I believe that prot will come back.
