He was giving up on keeping me alive, letting nature–or rather mob justice–take its course.
When he returned, and I was dead, he wouldn't hold anyone responsible. He would not mourn.
All this I could hear in those three words.

In "The Host" by Stephenie Meyer, the protagonist reflects on a moment of despair, understanding that someone significant in her life has lost hope for her survival. She feels an unsettling acceptance as she realizes that this individual is ready to abandon her fate to the brutality of the world around them, rather than fighting for her life or holding anyone accountable for her potential demise.
As she contemplates her situation, she perceives an emotional detachment from this person; their indifference suggests that if she were to perish, there would be no sense of loss or responsibility felt on their part. This realization encapsulates the profound loneliness and abandonment she experiences, highlighting the stark reality of her circumstances.
