His greatest passion is looking into the distance with his binoculars and building a world for himself by talking to rocks and plants. Defying the loveless, selfish adults of the three families around him, he keeps his innocence and the legends told by his grandfather alive in his soul. With the abuse shown to his grandfather and the tragic slaughter of the Mother Deer legend, he rejects the real world. Staying true to his dream of becoming a fish to reach a white ship, he chooses his own tragic rebellion in the stream waters.
