I've been wondering: why did they leave in the first place? And where did they even go?

I'm new to FLCL, so I might be getting some details wrong, but from what I understood, Canti was still conscious while using Atomsk's power. If that's the case, why did he leave too? And what were he and Haruko actually doing during that whole time?

Did I miss something, or is it intentionally left ambiguous?

From what I understood, Atomsk eventually broke free and left Canti's body, since we later see Canti working as... a school crossing guard? Then Haruko comes back to Naota, but that whole departure and return feels pretty unexplained.

Is there any explanation, or is it just one of those things FLCL intentionally leaves open? Does it even matter? It seems like nobody talks about it, so maybe it's just me. I just find that whole gap curious.

It might just be me, since i haven't seen anyone else commenting, but the way this character acts, idolizes Toph, and his appearance—everything about him reeks of a self insert by some crazy screenwriter obsessed with Toph. But maybe I'm just imagining things, Idk.
