- #2“WHO SHE IS Panel 1 Behind Māui, a silhouette of Kui forms from drifting soil. Māui:“She’s one of the chthonic atua — the ones who live beneath us.” Panel 2 Close-up of Māui’s face, serious.His tone shifts from playful to respectful.

Māui:“She sees everything that happens on the surface... even when we forget she’s there.””

Māui:“She’s the partner of Tuputupuwhenua, the atua of the deep earth.” Panel 2 Roots twist into the shape of a house foundation.

Māui:“When you treat the land right... she protects you.” Panel 3 The void cracks slightly. Māui:“When you disrespect it... she reminds you who’s really in charge.””
