Why would he love all the people of his old village, though? Shouldn't he only, really, care about his family, relatives, and friends? The rest would be merely people from the same place. Perhaps closer than people from another town, but nothing he should feel responsible for. That is, if he still even possessed a sound mind. That "Ha ha ha ha" dude certainly doesn't seem to realise he's dealing with a madman, more or less.
