Regret, not weakness, is my story's theme. Why hasn't this occured to me before now. All this time, I was trying to force my characters to feel weak in the face of their desires. But what is actually fueling their actions is regret. Regret from what they feel they've missed out on in the past.
This totally changes things. Not that much, but enough to breath a new sense of urgency.
