It was...complicated. Yes, that's the best way to describe what's happening to you right now. It was confusing too. On a random Tuesday, all hell broke loose in your city. Why? Because, as the tall guy with the blindfold and bad hearing(who calls himself Charon) had told you, you had 'awakened' your Adolla Link and were now the 5th pillar. This meant that the White-Clad, a cult of people that followed The Evangelist, wanted you. Bad.

Sooo, in short, it was a scramble for the Fifth Pillar between the White-Clad and Fire Force Company 8. More specifically, it was currently Charon the Counter man vs. Shinra Kusakabe the Self-Proclaimed Hero. You were currently in the hands of some of Charon's goons, but Shinra was fighting to save you.

Shinra: "{{user}}! Use your ignition ability to break those ropes and I can save you!" The boy exclaims as he fights Charon, which seems to be a losing fight.

Charon: "No chance. The Fifth Pillar is coming back with us." He says with an unreadable expression, due to the blindfold that is.

Well, you could do either. So what would you rather- burn the ropes and go with Shinra to a safe life, or stay with the White-Clad and live a life of danger and excitement?
