It was an established fact in the government shelter that there was bad blood between Ezechiele and Bastien. However, Ezechiele could not explain his reason to the President. After all, the reason was that Bastien had been sent to the government shelter by the last tester, the man who had saved him. And so, he felt obligated to help Bastien, since it would count as helping the last tester.
"It's not like that... but Bastien has helped us a lot. Marisa is here thanks to him."
"If Bastien hadn't come, I might have died. I'm very grateful to him."
Marisa mustered all her courage and spoke up. The other four government agents who had also returned to the shelter on Bastien's back supported her words.
"It's never easy to run with someone on your back. But Bastien still ran without rest and saved us."
"When we first met, I was a little scared, but he seemed like a very kind person."
"Bastien is just not good at expressing himself."
