A lot of people dislike Chaz for his reactions here. What do you think of it? Would you have taken up the battle, or told Le Roof "Stuff It!"?

Chaz Ashley lost his parents at a young age, grew up in an orphanage, but was thrown out when the institution ran into financial difficulties. He had turned to a life of petty crime when Alys took him off the streets and gave him a home. Hence, she was not just his mentor, but also the only “family” he ever knew.

We know it now only from learning more about expansion on the series (the Drama CD) and the creative process that went into the game. Nothing of Chaz's past, except Alys being his mentor, is covered in the game itself.
Even if one overlooks his background, he’s just a 16-year-old kid (much as he may object to being referred to as such). Surely adolescence is tough enough without being handed responsibility for civilisation as we know it.
