The overall tone of the story can be described as
The story strikes a balance between a reflective sadness, stemming from Bepo's emotional turmoil, and warm character insights. Bepo grapples with the decision of whether to leave his students for a trip to the UK. His visit to the Badagry Heritage Slave Museum becomes a pivotal moment as it prompts him to reflect on the idea of "new slavery." This reflection leads him to the realisation that he is not ready to become one of these modern slaves; instead, he chooses to remain at Stardom School to nurture his students.
Throughout the narrative, a melancholic atmosphere persists. It begins with Bepo's emotional breakdown during the assembly and continues as he contemplates various migration stories, particularly those of individuals who were unsuccessful in their migration attempts. Insights from these different people encourage him to be more reflective and to think critically about this important relocation decision.
