“Okay, Allbrights,” Dad said, hefting his own pack on. “Let’s go home!”
When he calls them “Allbrights,” he’s not just talking, he’s pushing. Like saying the name will somehow make them tougher or more loyal to his vision. It’s less about family and more about control. Ugh.
As if being an Allbright should automatically mean toughness, survival. They now have to live up to his idea of what that name means, not their own. It’s not encouragement; it’s expectation.
