Airborn spends a lot of time defining what home means to Matt, and how it changes throughout the course of his adventures. A home isn't necessarily always a concrete idea—it can refer to any place where you feel the most comfortable, welcomed, or where you feel you best belong. To Matt, his home is unquestionably the Aurora; but gradually he realizes that maybe it might actually be more of an escape.
