Dougram 34.
I have a bad feeling about Rick. He's a pretty cool guy, but he's basically the "boss" of this arc. Hopefully he doesn't die. He's a good person.
Lecoque is starting to come out of his shell as the manipulative bastard he is. He's definitely final boss tier.
It's funny how quickly the Palmina arc went from super optimistic to "oh crap, these guys are struggling hard" so quickly. One minute they're meeting huge groups of friends every second, next thing you know they're suffering loss after loss.
