Everything Atreus writes in this chapter takes place after the journey and returned from Jötunheim.

Kratos didn't like the idea that they had something to do with it.

He carried me for a while then dumped me on the ground and told me to walk. Yeah, he was disappointed in me, but that's nothing new. Unfortunately my excitement was never really fulfilled. I never really understood the purpose of this book, its intended audience or even its purpose.
