Reflection & Doubt
Scene Purpose:
The Antagonist marshals all his/her forces against the Protagonist/Main Character.
The problem of the story is really a physical issue, so she has to burn, smash, and fight her way through to get the objects and information she needs to prevail against Tāwhiri. Thinking about it won’t help her at all.
Character and Plot Dynamics: Problem-Solving Style — Logical
She approaches problems directly, e.g., when she discoveres that Tū has been torn apart by Tāwhiri, she reacts by finding out where the pieces are held, and going to find them. When arguing her position to Mōhio about Aroha, she uses logic to call attention to what she considers silly, outdated rules about marriage. Main Character: Issue — Approach
Main Character: Problem — Reconsider
Kō fiercely believes in love, but she must reconsider her quest when she realizes what Tāwhiri is trying to do, and is deciding to stop him, she must reconsider her position on love.
Main vs. Impact: Conflict
For there to be any closure on the issue of love, Kō has to reconcile her desires with he sense of duty, and has to make that determination for herself, without Mōhio’s input. Mōhio must gain enough respect for Kō to allow her to do so without interference. That can only happen if Kō stops denying her love/duty, and Mōhio realizes the depth of her love.
Maui is free from the underworld, and he’s holding up the sky, but he’s being buffeted by the wind. There’s not much time until Tawhiri overcomes him.
Maybe this part should be from the perspective of Ingo or Aroha, who see the sky falling and don’t think Ko will return. Then the next scene is when Ko comes back with Maui.
