Chapter 59: Goodwill with Goodwill, Malice with Malice (2)
An expedition was an entity sharing one fate – this assertion from Samuel was something pretty much all Earthlings would readily agree with.
It didn't matter whether one's relationship was bad or not, or if there was some bad blood; as long as they belonged to the same expedition, every member had to cooperate with one another. Otherwise, there was a high chance the expedition would spiral into an uncontrollable mess during a march or a battle. This would obviously put everyone’s lives at risk.
In that regard, both Seol Jihu and Clara lacked the 'educational' aspect of what made Earthlings the Earthlings.
Blinded by greed, Clara provided pretext with her foolish actions, and when she was criticized for it, she got angry. Seol Jihu was triggered by her and relentlessly pushed her to a corner afterwards.
The result was the atmosphere of the expedition becoming icy. Everyone felt like they were walking on thin ice.
