For the record, I do not think that running away/avoiding was Alto's motivation for everything. But I do believe that it was a significant factor in his decision making in the series.
I disagree, for reasons laid out in excruciating detail in the posts of the last days.

Does he just figure its the easiest way to get out of the situation? Is he instinctively prone to act? Perhaps he's been playing that part for a while already because its a role that gave him a chance to pursue the sky he loves so much?
Or maybe it is easy to fall back into bad habits with people you knew well in the past and had a different type of relationship with than with the people you are currently spending your time with. Yasaburo pushes a lot of Alto's buttons, due to their past interactions.
