I think Spirit would have left, because as much as he loved Rain, it was obvious he loved his mother more, because she's been with her his full life, and as you pointed out, he was distressed between choosing between the village and the herd. If you think about it, when Spirit was captured Esperanza was upset and obviously hated to see him go. Spirit showed his full care toward them. Rain, on the other hand, when the village was attacked she cared more about Little Creek than Spirit. Maybe Spirit got the wrong idea and thought Rain cared more for a human than him. (

) Even though Spirit still helped her, I think he wanted to go back to his herd, no matter what.
Oh, thank you Dakota, for your reply. I was a little silly to post this. I think I'm just analyzing things too deeply, but I always do.
At any rate, despite me being an imbecile, I really do appreciate the reply. And I agree, what you say is what I think about it.
