In the weeks that followed, Takumi and Haruka gathered new allies. They couldn't face the Maze alone, and there were whispers of a shadow organization that had been monitoring the Maze's activity. These people were survivors—some from other mazes, some with knowledge of the world's darker corners. Each one had their own story of loss, and each one shared Takumi's thirst for revenge.
They were:
Kei, a brilliant strategist with a bitter edge. His calm demeanor masked a deep hatred for the Maze, as it had destroyed his entire family. His thirst for revenge matched Takumi's, but he was far more calculating.
Aki, a fierce fighter with a mysterious past. A skilled hand-to-hand combatant who lost her brother to the Maze, Aki joined the crew with one goal: to bring the Maze's creators to their knees.
Taro, a quiet, emotional boy who had been tormented by psychological horrors in the Maze. He was the youngest of the group, but his uncanny ability to read people and predict their moves made him invaluable.
Mika, an enigmatic woman who seemed to know more about the Maze than anyone else. She claimed to have been part of the original experiment that created the Maze and had escaped once before—only to be dragged back in.
The group was a ragtag bunch, each with their own trauma and thirst for vengeance, but they all had one thing in common: they wanted to see the Maze destroyed. And they wanted to make those responsible pay.
