In the same way, character’s perceptions, motivations, actions, beliefs, and histories do not, in any way, reflect the perceptions, motivations, actions, beliefs, or histories of any organization or institution, nor do they reflect the perceptions, motivations, actions, beliefs, or histories, of any character’s religious, ethnic, racial background, affiliation, or national origin.

      who stand in God’s judgment, mankind’s fate would

      be in grave and certain peril.

      These tzaddikim have no knowledge of each other;

      neither have they an understanding of their own

      singular importance. As innocents, they remain
