In the revealing “Sarian,” we finally get a flashback episode about our two leads
Present-day Ian drips with confidence, protected from lines in the sterile “Hera” office. Here, his life is a mess. His single mother suffers from mood swings that see her as supportive one moment and catatonic the next. Ian finds solace in his imagination, and it’s far more vivid than expected, filled with passions and ideas. But he’d rather read sci-fi erotica and build universes than write a report on Saturn. Sarah sees clarity when Ian talks about his creations.
We see a split between parents, one that wants to encourage play, and another who just wants their kid to be “normal.” Poppy’s dad gives her a few minutes ofin exchange for some serious piano practice but quickly gives in to Poppy’s pleas for more screen time. He does find a way to motivate her training by turning the recital into “boss level.
Poppy’s parents also suffer from the push-pull of parenting, when to be supportive and when to be stern. Still, Poppy comes from a much more stable household, growing up in a nice house on a nice block where kids freely ride their bikes without worry. Poppy’s dad’s tactic of using the recital to reward does the trick, and Poppy learns her piece, choosing the most expeditious way to her goal.
“I named it ‘Sarian’ because it’s our planet,” Ian tells his mother. A portmanteau of Sarah and Ian, his first game is a tribute to the world he lost but also his willingness to collaborate. However, Ian cannot fulfill both parents’ wishes and is sent to live with his father, with whom we know shockingly little , but must not be supportive of the whole imagination thing .
