I really can't tell if Ezequiel if a good guy or a bad guy even though he seems up to some sketchy stuff #1102dystopia

At some point, going behind others' backs is gonna be necessary to make it through the process, and Rafael hints at this early #1102dystopia

The voiceover is so much less convincing than it would be if the actors were speaking it lol #1102dystopia

Even what seem like fearless beasts have fears #1102dystopia
