Axel probably is looking at the traitors now. He hopes not, because Axel respects these senior members.
It would be very heartbreaking if it turned out that the people he respected were traitors who were also the cause of the deaths of many of his fellow guardians.
"What else did you find inside that gate, son?" asked one of the senior members.
What is inside the gate is completely random based on where someone enters there. Coincidentally — if one can say so — Axel came in and met Rama and Shoji. So they could finally work together after that.
"I met some Shadow Wraiths, sir," Axel answered. "After that I didn't find anything else until I came out."
The three senior members exchanged glances. Axel knew that they still didn't believe him.
He couldn't say that he met Rama and Shoji and found a temple. To now say anything felt so dangerous to him.
