>>96998454>>96998405Blood Moon Ball, Tom was fixated on getting Star back because it was his anger issues that made her break up with him. He is trying to get over his issues, and felt that if Star came back to him, then he would have officially defeated his issues. Because what else besides that was keeping Tom and Star apart, right?
In season 2, he also used Marco as a benchmark to measure his progress on self-improvement, but he cared too much of the letter of the law of his program instead of the spirit of it?
I think he stays with Star, because if she leaves him again due to him blowing his top again, she'd be a walking testament of his failure to control his anger. Conversely, keeping her would be proof of his self-improvement.
He needs to learn to do this shit for himself, and he doesn't need Star or Marco or anyone else to do it.
