In The Past
before Oeca's Trial
at the fishing pond, nightfall
conversation between Apo and Owen---
Owen, can I ask you something?
Yeah sure. What is it, Apo?
I need help to understand. I think people can change, if they want to. But everyone's so scared of each other, of trusting anyone, and why?
Well there's the weird notes, for one. The fact that Mohwee and Oeca are impulsive and dangerous, for another.
...
...
Owen, do you believe people can change?
No.
Why not?
...I suppose I just think people have certain attributes, things that they can't change.
...
...
Can you give me a real life example, so I can understand?
...I was trained to be a hunter. So I'll always be one.
Even though you can't even remember it?
Yeah.
Do you think you were a hunter before they trained you?
I don't know, Apo.
Do you think Oeca could be trained to be less impulsive?
...Maybe.
Even if he killed Mohwee?
I don't know, Apo.
...
I guess we would have to know whether he killed Mohwee or not.
