He was emotionally closer to his reservation Indian friends and cousins that to the narrator.

I really appreciated your analysis of the narrator's assumptions about Arnold leaving Reardan. It’s such a nuanced perspective on family and identity! I wonder, though, if Arnold felt a stronger connection to his roots at the rez school despite its struggles. That adds another layer to why someone might choose to return home. Thanks for sparking this thought!
