In this excerpt from "Origin" by Jennifer L. Armentrout, a boy expresses his feelings of isolation by saying that others are unwilling to play with him. His comment suggests he might be struggling to connect with peers, leading to a sense of loneliness. The doctor responds with a lighthearted question about sharing toys, attempting to navigate the boy’s feelings with humor.
Micah, however, interprets the situation differently, indicating an underlying tension between the need for companionship and the idea of dominance. His reaction highlights a complex social dynamic where sharing and dominance clash, prompting confusion and frustration, especially for the boy in the dialogue.
