Melting Ice

Bam.

Adam was the last to climb out of the rift, along with the Steel Knight.

Yeah, he could have left the monster below, but Adam wanted to savor this moment, not rush - he deserved it.

"Well, well, looks like I saved everyone this time, although... considering there were still casualties, I sound pretty cynical, right?" Adam muttered, looking around with a slight smile.

Adam didn't have 'Good Hero' obsessions, someone who wished to save everyone and anyone so that there would only be goodness and peace in the world.

Adam understood and recognized for himself that his life was more important than the lives of people he didn't know until that day.

Sure, if he had the opportunity to save the Harvesters and the Phantoms in the crystals, he would surely do it. However, if there was any risk to his life in doing so, then he wouldn't even think about it.
