At this point in the story, as our hero is making their proactive decision to Break Into 2, they are still being motivated by what they want. They’re still chasing after that external goal. Maybe they’ll get it, maybe they won’t. But by the end of the novel, it won’t matter, because they’ll have gotten what they need. They’ll have learned their life lesson. They’ll have learned the theme. That’s why I like to call Act 2 fixing things the wrong way.
