Question

○ he didn’t say any more, but we’ve always been unusually communicative in a reserved way, and i understood that he meant a great deal more than that.
○ father agreed to finance me for a year, and after various delays i came east, permanently, i thought, in the spring of twenty - two.
○ instead of being the warm center of the world, the middle west now seemed like the ragged edge of the universe — so i decided to go east and learn the bond business.
○ i had a dog — at least i had him for a few days until he ran away — and an old dodge and a finnish woman, who made my bed and cooked breakfast and muttered finnish wisdom to herself over the electric stove.

Explanation:

This excerpt shows Nick views his home in the Middle West as no longer fulfilling, describing it as the "ragged edge of the universe" instead of the "warm center of the world." This dissatisfaction drives his choice to leave for the East to pursue a new career, directly indicating he is unhappy with his current life. The other excerpts either describe communication, his move logistics, or mundane living details without expressing discontent.
