Pierce Lennon was well aware of how heavy the word "freedom" weighed.

Who wouldn't want freedom?

Pierce lived under the rule of Luke Perkins, like walking on thin ice, and naturally yearned for the unencumbered freedom that Benjamin Johnson had.

But it was unrealistic.

Pierce had much more to pursue than just survival.

As long as one is alive, there is always hope and a future.

Benjamin had already set his future course towards death.

He wanted to elevate his soul through drastic measures.

Pierce found Benjamin's idea ludicrous, but he wouldn't say more in front of him.

"As long as you're happy with it."

Pierce merely comforted Benjamin.

Benjamin willingly stayed in isolation, leading a monotonous life without a sense of time.

This was a kind of torture that Pierce would not accept.
