But Luke was learning, slowly. It was only once he got back home and Van started putting ideas into his head ("I'm gonna be a hero!!") that he started going downhill and being bratty again.

After Akzeriuth he didn't just learn his lesson, he was absolutely flattened. I mean, first he's riding in the head of Asch, who totally hates his guts (which is another plate of tomatoes) and treats him like trash. He goes through massive amounts of denial when it comes to Van. He goes on a massive, extended guilt trip and puts himself down at every opportunity. It takes him quite a while to get back to a semblance of the old energy he had had before. I'd call it inevitable for the sake of the storyline, not a healthy thing for his character.

It pissed me off that Luke got so much more shit for Akzeriuth than Ion did - when it comes right down to it, they both had an equal share of the blame for what happened.

I'll agree with this. I really think Ion should've shared in the blame as well. I still don't know why he just stood there and watched.

Luke's decline in attitude really upset me. I do agree that his attitude was changing and that was from one thing: experience. He learned the hard way that he had to pay for food (I found the scene hilarious). He learned the hard way that fighting against a human being in battle is a fight to the death. This is why I believe he could only learn things when the going got tough - he never would've learned all this (and suffered the same heartache) if he had stayed within the mansion walls. Which is why Luke had to learn to grow up the hard way - nothing else was working and it must've been frustrating for all those people to see him change so quickly after he was making progress. I think everyone else keeps forgetting that the other characters were hurting on the inside as well - not just Luke. They also blamed themselves for the destruction and they really had no fault in it.
