**what —** The pull backward: the relationship that ties Derek to the life he's trying to leave, and resents the leaving.
**where —** Inside the movement, at the party, against Derek's change.
**why —** Because leaving a hate movement means leaving people, and the film shows the cost of that too.
**how —** By staying true to the cause as Derek abandons it, and treating his reform as betrayal.

**the seal —** You don't get to just walk out. We were a family in here. Leaving us is the only thing I'll never forgive.
