The underline force that pulls the 3 together is the power of a tiny wooden tiki. It’s an icon for Otto and a faith long given up, a symbol of courage and new possibilities for Arlo and a story of things that can’t be changed for Echo.
What they discover, is that the Tiki doesn’t possess any real magic, not in the way of mystic powers or ancient spells, but instead a connection to family and community. It doesn’t bestow the wearer with boundless courage but gives them the focus to believe in themselves and most importantly that things really can be changed. And though it’s not always your perfect storybook ending, you are the driving force of your own destiny.
