The Awkwardness Between

The five of them only met when they arrived at the second stage of Gantlet. They were isolated by the sinners and they themselves were about to succumb to follow their broken society.

"We can do this, Ye... Your grandpa may look scared but at least we don't do bad things, right?"

"Hm..."

Are they the same as them? Someone who doesn't want power in exchange for who they are?

If they are, they'd like to meet each other.
