Yeah, Opposite!Matt has actual practical objections to attempting to either run away--a) how the fuck would he get out, b) the closest country that wouldn't immediately send him back is Chile and how the fuck is he supposed to get there, c) even Chile or a different country probably would eventually send him back, he's worth enough that the US government would pay his price to the country in exchange for him back, d) escaped slave hunters, e) this would reflect badly on Summer and Winter, and he can't bear to disappoint them, f) he would get taken back and it would mean all his hard work down the drain, and g) the only countries that wouldn't expedite him back the US no matter what are North Korea and maaaayyyybe China. And those places are awful for escaped American slaves anyway.
And also, honestly, Matt feels insulted that anyone would insinuate that he even would try to run away, he's not that stupid or undisciplined.
