Though I would err on the side of needy, Akooshah strikes me as valuing his freedom most of all. I've attempted conversation with him some six times, and not once did he say anything about needing housing and regular meals, though he has been thankful about the food I've given him and hangs out around grocery stores. He's probably psychotic but the language barrier prevents him speaking such that hard enough to say that that is so. For whatever reason he is minimally intelligible, and I think this works for him since the social skills to engage beyond that are not his, and he can get along mumbling and being sweet.
You don't often hear the homeless saying "love love love."
