cam's continued refusal of atwood's understanding doesn't frustrate him. it does, however, make him ache, because he wishes he were wrong, though he doesn't really understand that. at last the boy makes a break for it, shoving him over in the process -- he lets himself stumble, watching the other boy flee without remark. his own sadness catches up to him then and with a cry he flings himself back toward the adults, looking for his remaining mamas for comfort that will likely not come, at least not for now.
