The hardest part about being back in the human world was relearning emotion. Everything a wolf does has a practical, simple reason. There is no cold shoulder, no saying one thing when you mean something else, no innuendo. Wolves fight for two reasons: family and territory. Humans are driven by ego; wolves have no room for it and will literally nip it out of you. For a wolf, the world is about understanding, knowledge, respect – attributes that many humans have cast off, along with an appreciation of the natural world.
The protagonist struggles to adjust to human emotions after returning to the human world from a wolf's perspective. In the wolf community, actions are driven by straightforward motivations, with no hidden meanings or complex social dynamics. Emotions are clear-cut, focused on family bonds and territory defense, contrasting sharply with human behavior often clouded by ego and misunderstanding.
This shift highlights the simplicity and purity of wolf life, where respect and knowledge prevail over societal complexities. The character yearns for the clarity and honesty inherent in wolf interactions, emphasizing a lost appreciation for nature and the straightforward principles that guide the animal world. This serves as a critique of the convoluted nature of human relationships and priorities.
