Where did these characters meet in the past?

Where is the stolen item?

Where can someone hide and not be detected?
How can the puzzle be finished?

How did this character lose faith in the cause?

How might the past help mend the present?
Which character cares most about what happens next?

Which location is most dangerous?

Which pair is the least compatible?
When did everything fall apart?
