By the end of the game though, all of them are dead and their deaths leave scars on multiple members of the main cast that last into the events of the second game. In any other game they'd be a fantastic group of main characters, and their loyalty and, essentially, true friendship to Gaius is touching. None of them are pure evil, they're all truly loyal to Gaius and his mission, and they all have rather painful pasts. Everything about the Chimeriad and their deaths in general.Made worse when you consider that Gaius fails in his mission at the end, so everything Wingul died for pretty much nothing. Everything he's done has been for Gaius, and he even dies for him. She's normally pretty stoic and generally quite nice, so watching her break down and then throw a tantrum demanding her brother back is pretty painful. Talking with the party helps her come to terms with what the two of them had to sacrifice for eachother, but when he goes missing, Kanbalar falls apart because of their dependence on him, making his efforts in Karla's eyes feel like a waste. She's Gaius' younger sister, and while he loves her dearly, her feelings toward him is not as simple. There's a minor one at the end of the "History of Auj Oule" subquest involving Karla Outway.Again, Matthew Mercer's delivery on the last line makes it so much worse.Right until the end, Alvin and Leia just can't get a break. These events would eventually come back to haunt him. Alvin's mother is sickly and forgetful, every bad thing he's done was for her, including blackmailing Isla to continue looking after her.It was clear that Milla's death pushed all of them over the edge. To see him broken down and Leia vainly trying to fix things and get him to eat was rough. It was especially hard to watch, considering how Jude has always taken things in stride and moved with purpose.The poor girl even has to protect him from Alvin after he returns to kill Jude and gets shot in the process. Leia trying to push Jude on after Milla supposedly dies and he enters into a state of depression, not resisting at all when Alvin arrives to kill Jude in exchange for Muzet offering to return him back to his home of Elympios.She breaks down into tears as she's trying and laments that she doesn't want to hold everyone back anymore. It gets worse later when the group has to escape Kanbalar by activating several door switches at once with their mana and Leia just can't make hers work. She tries to shrug it off but it's easy to tell it hit her where it hurts. After the truth is revealed about how Teepo says Elize's inner thoughts, she insults Leia and essentially calls her The Load.
