They say it might be a tragic reincarnation, I don't

Abby's origin and gender:

1. It keeps saying that he is not a girl, I think this is expressing that he is a vampire, but it should also be female, definitely not that he is a boy!

2. I guess, Abby should be the offspring of humans and vampires, otherwise there is no reason to be trapped at the age of 12. Of course, the religious flavor of this film is too strong, maybe it has something to do with it.

Owen's particularity:

1. In terms of character, Owen may be gradually guided by Abby to become a killer, Owen is too easy to be controlled and manipulated by others.

2. Owen discovers Abby's past and gets a glimpse of what he could be in the future. This is the key to reincarnation. When Owen grows up, he will not necessarily be used all the time.

3. Abby may have a genuine affection for Owen. The reasons I say this are: 1. Abby warned Owen to go away from the very beginning, telling Owen that they could not become i friends. Does this seem like a trick to take advantage of one person? In the following time, he was also open and honest with Owen, and he hardly concealed anything. This was to make friends with his heart. Second, Abby taught Owen to stand up to the bullying of her classmates. Some people say that this is to train Owen to be her own thug, but I think this is a real concern for Owen, because she did not teach Owen any killing skills. Third, after Abby killed the police, he parted ways with Owen, but he kept following Owen and rescued Owen as soon as he was in trouble. Imagine if Abby wanted to train a servant from an early age and found that Owen was unwilling, would he leave immediately? Open, to find the next target early? If I were, I would look for the next target! It means that Abby has real feelings for Owen.

Abby and Owen's future:

1. Abby had a real love for Owen and broke the curse of the 12-year-old. Abby became a medical scientist and successfully developed artificial blood. The two of them lived happily like normal people.

2. Abby had a real love for Owen, so he bit Owen and turned Owen into a vampire, immortalized.

But this seems unrealistic, because being bitten into a vampire is not stable, it seems to lack intelligence and rationality, and being bitten seems to become a slave, an animal without reason.

3. Abby and Owen had a true relationship. Owen couldn't stand hunting humans for Abby for a long time, so he killed Abby and then committed suicide.
