Impact Character: Resolve — Steadfast
Mōhio’s belief that context is important for love never changes.
Impact Character: Approach
Kō has to do things to stop the world from ending. Mōhio can’t do anything, he can only talk and think, because he’s dead (or maybe just incapacitated).
Impact Character: Problem-Solving Style
Kō wants to cut the heart of issues logically, and discard anything that doesn’t fit withher framework. Mōhio is more likely to respect old ways because of factors he can’t quite understand –just to assume they are like that for a reason, and so to be more conservative.
Ko makes a plan for Ingo to kill her so that she can enter the underworld to fins Maui, who has held up the sky before. She needs to buy some time to finish getting Tu’s body and bring it to Rehua.
This is a choice that explicitly against love: Ko may never come back, and she’s making the ultimate sacrifice to stop love.
Ingo kills Kō so she can go to the underworld to find Maui.
She goes, finds Maui, fights Hine to escape.
