So, I really liked this event. I think the dialogues actually gave us some introspection about what scares each character. I don’t know if this was made on purpose, but if it was, then congrats because this was smart 😭.
These are my own interpretations, I want to write about my take on the fear each character portrayed during this event.
Lance - In my opinion, he’s one of the easiest. I think Lance has claustrophobia. He was scared of the elevator in Genkaku, and in his story he said the long, narrow corridors made him uncomfortable. And there’s something else you can interpret. He also mentions how he was there to rescue Purral, but he wasn’t sure if he could defeat such a huge monster, so I’d say his other fear would be failing to protect someone. Also maybe being seen as a monster, even if he has changed and is trying to protect others.
Nevra - Nevra is a bit more complicated, but I’d say Nevra is scared of sadness and loss, which makes a lot of sense for him. Even if it was supposed to be a scary story, not a sad one, Nevra started explaining how sad he felt when he thought about everything the Feng Huangs who lived there lost. He also lied to Huang Hua, telling her the bird was real just to not make her feel sad.
Leiftan - Also difficult if we only look at his story, but taking into account his situation during main story, I think he’s scared of being perceived as vulnerable or helpless. He hid the fact that he can’t use his powers and, in his story, he lied about confronting the monster and later confessed he exaggerated some things. He also said everything was dark, so we could say that he’s either scared of the dark or of his own dark side.
Mathieu - I think Mathieu is scared of what others might think of him, and maybe of being left behind or not fitting in. He likes to be seen as a strong hero who saves damsels in distress and defeats big monsters. He also presumably lied about his story, since each member of his team tells a different story.
And Erika? Honestly her story was the one that scared me the most because I’m not scared of fictional monsters, but ending work late at night, having to go back home alone, and that feeling of being observed or the paranoia that someone is following you… that’s very real.
It’s been a while since I don’t write something this long 😂
