What is faith?

For those without faith, faith is nothing. Whether it’s religious belief or any other kind of faith, it’s something unnecessary, so naturally, it’s meaningless.

For those with faith, faith is everything—it’s life, it’s something more important than life itself. Faith can be varied, which is why the word "faith" exists as a way to encompass all of it.

For those with faith but who lack conviction, faith is something dispensable—something to be used when needed and discarded like an old shoe when not.

Yang Yi is someone who falls between having faith without conviction and having none at all. His purpose is revenge. Unless something unexpected happens, revenge is his faith, and he will carry it out to the end.

But if something more important than revenge comes up, Yang Yi would abandon revenge, whether willingly or not, because the living are more important than the dead. A great number of living people outweigh Yang Yi’s already deceased parents. On this point, Yang Yi is always clear-headed.

However, Anton, and Annastasia, and Brian—these are people whose faith is unwavering.

Elvin’s faith is The Cleaner—specifically, the ideals and goals for which The Cleaner fights. Because of this, Elvin is a person of faith. He was able to face torture head-on and embrace death without hesitation, even sending out the false intelligence he aimed to convey. So Elvin’s death has meaning.

Anna’s faith was the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union is gone.

Brian’s faith is Anna. So now he’s living very well—even if he dies immediately, he wouldn’t have any regrets.

But what about Anton? Anton’s faith was the Soviet Union. Yet the Soviet Union is gone, and his faith also included Yarebin.
