It's a thing this show talks about a lot: What's worth more, your past or your future? Characters like Geiz have a difficult time focusing on anything other than their resentments, their tragedies; while characters like Swartz are obsessed with the future and will do anything to reach it. Sougo's role in the story has always been to find balance between the two, to let the past be a blueprint to build a better future, with the present as the landscape where that building can begin.
