Yes indeed, the teens choice. The non-answer. It took effort for Vincent to not give a heavy sigh of exasperation. He understood that his son was bored. But look at the poor boy. Even this looked exhausting. Outside of boredom, his reasoning were long past promises that might well have been made before the accident. Vincent was torn between empathy and fatherly duty. This was his son.

"I appreciate your plight, but it doesn't answer my question. Elijah, you are still healing. I would rather you be bored today than in your grave tomorrow. Don't push yourself too far." Vincent was sure that no teenager wanted to hear this answer. It wasn't a fun answer. An exciting answer. It was the answer that ruined all of the fun, really. But if Elijah died from infection or his heart gave out, Vincent would be crushed.
