what is character? Determines life, or life determines character?
Synthetic families are particularly typical. They have their own thinking, personality, and feelings...unique.
Niska told the grandfather that it was her own experience that created such a character. However, what we have seen is that their character and even their lives were actually designed by David at the beginning.
The eldest sister, Mia, represents motherhood. Because David is busy with work, Beatrice suffers from depression and no one takes care of Leo, so she was designed. She is a character who gives love, so among her brothers and sisters, she can best care for everyone's needs, and she can keenly perceive the love between humans.
The second child, Leo, is a semi-human and semi-synthetic person with a more complicated personality. On the one hand, it has human strengths and weaknesses, on the other hand, it has doubts about human nature. Obviously it should be the "son" role to be taken care of, but after David's death, he took on the responsibility of caring for other synthetic people.
The third child, Fred, represents perseverance. It should be a "bodyguard" role designed by David for his son after the accident. Although he didn't make many appearances, it can be seen from the episode of Finding Max that his character is tenacious and he does not give up easily. Several confrontations with the doctor can also tell that he is courageous and strategic, and will never admit defeat.
Niska, the fourth child, represents desire. The most beautiful and unfortunate one, is occupied by hatred and fear towards humans, and has very little affection for his brothers and sisters (only for the innocent human girl Sophie). In the play, she said that David didn't treat himself like a child, implying that he was...that's why his personality would be so rebellious and extreme.
Max, the fifth oldest, represents innocence. The youngest one has the character of a human child, showing a friendly smile to everyone, wholeheartedly relying on and loving his brothers and sisters, and even praying to God for their safety, and will choose to sacrifice himself at critical moments.
"Mom" Karen represents loneliness. It was supposed to be the most maternal, but because he was not accepted by Leo, he was driven away by David to fend for himself. He has always pretended to be a human life, the most calm and restrained one.
Looking at it this way, the character itself is not only designed, but also related to the growth environment.
It is even more obvious in human families. Laura, who was originally a carefree life, left a lifetime shadow because of an accident when she was a child, and because of her estrangement with her husband and daughter... If there is no reconciliation, it is probably a divorce. Being resented by my daughter is a similar ending.
Fortunately, fortunately, there is Mia. Compared with humans, synthetic humans are easier to express their feelings and love, and it is easier to see through Laura's deeply buried heart, thus persuading her to untie the knot.
In addition, although synthetic humans have personality and feelings, there is still a certain gap between them and humans in the play, especially in the complexity of emotions.
Synthesizers are simpler and more straightforward. Even a tsundere like Niska knows who he likes and hates. The emotions between human beings are intricate, and there may be love and hatred for the same person at the same time.
Because of this, the understanding of "love" by synthetic people is relatively simple.
Suddenly I don't know how to write it down. End it with a line you like.
If you are not afraid of death, you are not really living.
