Zephyr realises that with magic, Equestria has more ponies than it needs. Feeling like a constant burden, he decides Equestria would be better off if he were dead. He struggles with his thoughts while acting confident to make everypony think that he's okay. Meanwhile, Fluttershy and her friends assume he's just lazy, and believe that kicking him out of home and assigning him increasingly trivial work is the solution.
