00:00 So I was wondering why you think General Kurigan is so tormented by that connection he has with Alina?
00:05 I think that he, you know, it's sort of a cliche to say he recognizes something of himself in her,
00:12 but he found himself with this sort of unique power and to come across someone that has that
00:17 and represents that from the beginning. But I also think he's a man who's, he's very passionate
00:24 about his agenda, but he's also deeply curious. And if he's asking a question of Alina, like,
00:28 what are you willing to sacrifice to get to your, to achieve your goals? He's also asking of himself,
00:37 is he willing to give up that thing which is most important to him? And is in the end,
00:42 the thing that's most important to him, Alina, is there some deep lost kind of hope and love
00:49 inside of him that is seeping through these cracks that in the end will be more important than what
00:55 he's trying to achieve and these sort of Machiavellian, toxic, awful, poisonous ways that
01:00 he's going about doing it. And, you know, we see these shadow demons literally poisoning him from
01:05 the, from the inside out. And so he's wrestling with a lot of things. And I think the only thing
01:09 that allows him to sort of breathe is the feeling that there might be someone in the world that
01:15 would understand him. And I think that's why I was trying to represent it physically when they were
01:21 making their connections in season two, it was important to me to try and bring in some of that
01:24 mindful kind of like breathing mode to like, sew it into, you know, something that I understand in
01:34 the context of finding peace in the world.
