I've been toying with the idea of wether or not I should let Bai Zhelan's dad hear Zhelan's voicemail. On one hand if I let him hear it and he decides to stay, there would be more family drama and arguments. It could get really old and annoying really fast depending on how I handle it but with Zhelan now no longer relying on his dad's money for a living he would have more confidence to confront his dad on how he felt about his decisions and him as a parental figure. Plus with their roles now reversed with zhelan being the one providing I could make the man as slimey and opportunistic or as remorseful and apologetic as I want.
On the other hand I could send Zhelan on another fetch quest for his father, if not just to prove to the others who still aren't hardened by the apocalypse that he isnt that morally grey, at least not yet. And with the father out of the way he could malewife, mansplain and manipulate others into believing his side of the story regarding his step family with the subject of his sob story out of the picture.
If I could get your opinions on this I could finally stop flip flopping on the drafts for this chapter and actually start work on writing a proper chapter.
