Summary
Atreus’s frustration rises to a boiling point. A point of anger where he goes nonverbal, just staring at the Kratos he’s made up out of contorted aspects and beliefs and memories. A question he’s asked himself for three years: does father love me because I’m strong? Well before Fimbulwinter and well before Fenrir’s death, and well before these murals and Týr and them finding out he’s a Jotunn, and everything falling apart. Does he love me because I am strong, or am I strong because he loves me, is Atreus’s father’s love conditional, or is Atreus’s existence conditional on Kratos?
Everything becomes too complex.
“Or would I love you if you were a stillborn lamb?”
Atreus’s anger forces him to run.

Summary
Kratos had longed for many things throughout the years. He’d longed for his first family, even if just for a moment, to apologize wholeheartedly. He longed for Faye, and her infinite wisdom that guided him in tricks and teases through the darkest of hours. He longed for the simpler times, if there ever were any, and even if there weren't.
But lately, he’d been longing most of all for his son. To hold him once more, to see his smile. Atreus had gone on his own journey 4 years ago, and he was now a man, 18. Kratos wanted to see his son again, but he’d return when he was ready. Perhaps that time came sooner than anticipated.
