Snowforest Taiga the bottom's all i've found

I don't expect it from everyone. I don't care if they earn my respect. I expected you to care enough to try, since you've claimed to, Or maybe he hadn't expected it; maybe he'd just hoped. But if you don't, I can leave. I haven't seen the others, but Maman said as much — anything else? The last part is a clear push toward a conclusion, a continuation of his offer of leaving. There's little for him here; his father is refusing to follow through on the intentions he expresses, as always. It'd been the same when he'd brought Zephyr and Helios back to Swiftcurrent Creek, when he'd insisted the family move for their safety, when he'd taken Zephyr back to the Emberwood, when they'd talked about finding Helios. Even now, in this conversation, it's all the same; unspoken promises never quite fulfilled, half-attempts, empty threats. Everything his father has built has been left unfinished, abandoned to crumble under the weight of the world. Zephyr is tired of it all falling apart. He isn't interested in trying again anymore.
