Kya keeps waiting for her to return revealing that she still has faith that her mother will return. She also has to learn to provide for herself when her mother and siblings leave. This shows us her independence and resourcefulness. She is determined, hardworking and resilient.


I think Kya would ask when her mother is going to come back

Most kids would panic or give up, but Kya learns to cook, fish, and care for herself. This moment shows how her loneliness shapes her identity — she becomes self-reliant and connected to nature instead of people.

This stood out to me because of Jodie's caring attitude and protectiveness towards Kya, for him to make the decision to leave the residence knowing she will be abandoned it seemed contrasting to how I expected him to appear in Kya's life moving forward.

The contradiction is that she stayed strong about it and learned independence instead of depending on people.
