Disappointed father
The father’s words were filled with sadness and disappointment. He spoke of his longings for Gavin and of the principles he had wished to foster, but which were now destroyed by greed and betrayal. Her discontent was evident; every word reflected a broken heart for the person she had valued most. Gavin could see in her eyes not only anger, but also a deep sense of loss.
The humiliation of a son
Gavin’s appearance began to collapse as he witnessed the intensity of his father’s suffering. The weight of his actions, the damage he had caused, fell upon him. His usual confidence wavered under the weight of shame; he struggled to find the words. Gavin saw his actions through his father’s eyes for the first time, and the vision was a bleak picture of regret and selfishness.
