- #1“Maui Tahu was walking along the forest edge of Te Ara Pounamu, hands behind his head, whistling off‐key. He wasn’t on a mission. He wasn’t training. He was just vibing. Then he heard it — a tiny sniffle. He looked down the path and saw a little Māori girl, maybe seven, sitting on a fallen log. Her hair was tied in a messy pātītī bun, cheeks streaked with tears, clutching a woven kete that was way too big for her. Maui Tahu blinked.“Eh, lil cuz... why you crying?
