I'm... not entirely sure how young(er) Chachan would feel about where Chachan is currently.
On the one hand, he'd be super happy that he's a Free Paladin (once that got explained to him) who goes around helping people all over the place and has so many interesting friends of all shapes and sizes. Not to mention that he has a chocobo all his own and a little friend named Gran who he gets to play with all the time.
On the other, it's been more or less a given that Chachan's childhood was largely spent not only in training under this father, but also following around his older brother like a lost little duckling. To know that he would leave home against the wishes of his father, and that his brother not only abandoned the family too... but has turned into some vengeful thing that doesn't even recognize him? That would be a bitter pill to swallow.
So... I would likely have to go with Existential Crisis. Does he try to change what happens so his brother stays with the family (or at least go WITH him)? But then what would happen to all those friends that he made BECAUSE he left afterward? Would he still get to be a hero? Or would be end up staying at home being the simple smith his father wanted him to be?
That's a lot for a little kid to think about, let alone come to a decision on.
