Ananda explained more about Hobbiton to them.
At first, Angor thought Hobbiton was a child who felt too restricted or bullied in his noble family and chose to run away from home, thus his current condition.
It was not the case. According to Ananda, Hobbiton's family was a peaceful and loving community, which was a very rare case among typical nobility. Hobbiton was not the only son in the family, but his brother loved him just fine.
The only thing Ananda tried to muddle through was why Duke Tepikkhu locked up Hobbiton in the first place. Since the age of seven, the Duke forcefully forbade Hobbiton from going out but did not restrict outsiders from visiting him.
And this seemed not right. Hobbiton's father grounded him while allowing him to receive information freely from outside?
