At the same time, a discussion was taking place in the bonfire room.
The first to express a stance was Snow Egg, "From Stone's resolve, it is clear that it will not change. For this past year and a half, Stone has always been in charge of Shadow. Since Stone is so determined, I will walk with him, and I support 'Hardcore Mode.'"
Maya said, "Stone has already said not to choose 'Hardcore Mode' because of him; he doesn't want to bear that responsibility."
Snow Egg said, "My choice of 'Hardcore Mode' isn't because of him as a person. I want to see things through, to finish this journey with this leader. Perhaps this is fate. When I left Shadow and Stone, I went through the toughest time. Back then, I imagined a beautiful future. History seems to be repeating itself; this time I am not following my heart, I follow the person."
