Its not that odd. I myself never want to leave my house but this thing is over a 100 years old now and that's not even an exaggeration so it won't last that much longer. But my Grandparents have lived in their respective houses for the entirety of their married lives. Same probably applies to these old people or Mashima is too lazy to think of details for some people whose only purpose is to die or piss themselves =P. Also the fact that they never expected someone would actually attack them. I'm pretty sure Michello's home isn't some uber-secret, so if a Killer really wanted to find it, he/she could. Then again, none of the townsfolk gave a fuck or even know he was. This gave me the impression that he was that Annoying Miserly Old man stereotype that everyone avoids in a small Town. Damn I digressed >_>
