There's some serious family drama going on there, and we aren't really getting to see it.
If his brain is a direct copy of his pre-death personality, he *should* still hate being a mutant. And while it's easy to point fingers at him and say 'self-loathing nutjob,' Melody's choices are also pretty extreme.
Plus how is Wallflower, who got shot & killed by his Church buddies after he gave them info on the school, or Elixir, whose arms she died in, going to interact with him these days? We know, since he's alive, that Elixir has had *some* interaction with him, since he restored him to life, but that must have been an awkward moment. Did the others (or the Guthrie mom, Lucinda) have to talk him into it?
Jay's kind of a crazy security risk, having betrayed the last group of mutants he was allowed to live with, so there's practical reasons not to bring him to Krakoa, as well as ethical ones (hates to be a mutant), and deeply personal ones (at least a dozen current residents should utterly despise him).
It's definitely a story, and one that might have to be avoided for now, as long as the editors want to keep some suspense over whether or not people are acting out of character, since Jay mysteriously *not* hating being a mutant anymore, and Elixir, Wallflower, all the bus kids, etc. *not* holding a grudge anymore, would seem clear indications that something is hinky.
