Life requires cooperation and care.  Nearly every living creature is a composite of thousands of others and millions of years of adaptation.  Each life is connected, no life is separate. This is what happens when one person discovers the meaning of life.  Arte was discarded by society but still fought, still moved forward, appreciating the effort of those around her, and never forgetting their kindness.  Her actions are not selfless nor purely altruistic, but she knows that for a world to thrive, all life must survive.
