Exactly yes. I won't handwave this away by saying "this is the point of the story," though it is the point of the story, but I will say that this is a real life occurrence, and not simply in an isolated incident or two. If anything, there's a tendency for stories that are too true to life to be disbelieved over stories that are formulaic but fictional, and what I want in this one is to portray a naked truth that a lot of people don't want to admit, in an allegorical way. Not that questioning the motivations of the characters is avoiding admitting that their behavior is true to real life people, just that it's a situation that I've noticed not only is portrayed, but in fact the opposite seems to be portrayed, where the college survivors would be lionized in anyone else's story, and I got tired of waiting for someone to write an honest version instead.
