Pretty much. Because of how the MC's personality is, he doesn't truly care about the inhabitants in the town. He is just annoyed they destroyed it. As far as I can tell, he doesn't do things how a stereotypical hero would do. He places people into one of two lists... people I care about/make effort to save or aid, and people I don't care about/no effort to help. Pretty much everyone starts off in the latter list, then get moved into the former if that person is kind enough and willing to help, even for help in return.
