I understand what you're saying. I understand both points of view, but I guess I'm at a point where I'm just not siding with him, because of personal situations at the moment that are really reflecting situations that while, not similar (imagine that. I don't have a ship. XD) point to situations that echo too painfully.
The other thing I'm seeing is that, while Rufi doesn't seem very sympathetic, I can see that the decision he's making is for the good of the entire crew. Sometimes being in a leader position forces someone to make decisions that benifit the whole no matter how difficult they may be to make.
Say they couldn't afford to fix the ship, sailed with it anyway and it sunk?
It makes more sense to me to take a piece of it with him-- something sentimental, perhaps, and move on.
I know how hard it must be to leave behind the one piece of home he's got left and not be able to keep the ship that comes from the girl he's been infatuated with his entire life, but sometimes things just happen that way...Nothing to be done with it.
Seemingly insensitive or not, I agree with Rufi on his decison.
