Coming back time after time, then leaving time after time.
Returning for the first time, full of longing, the second time, filled with resentment.

Zuri Ginger's outcome of going to prison was unavoidable.
Yet she reached such an irreconcilable stage with her own biological mother.
What was there left to cherish about this home?
But without this home, how was she to be with Koa Jackson?
In the end—
She still needed to compromise.
She needed to compromise with Aiden Jiang, forgive Charlotte Chester.
She needed to compromise with Zane Jackson, let him forgive her for her youthful ignorance and coercion.
She needed to compromise with Lydia Williams, first ignore the fact that she caused Zoey Leaf's death, and might have to call her "mom."
In so much, even if Koa Jackson was indifferent.
Grandpa Jackson couldn't possibly be indifferent.
