After that, the whole party wiped without even getting close to the second boss. I have no idea how he wasn't outright fired by Impact Comet after that. Blue Comet did kick them from his squad and busted him down to support member, but he reappeared in Black Comet's squad in no time. The time it took to reorganize with a new main tank, get them equipped, get them a bit of experience in the role, and replace the 20th member, meant that we weren't even in the first ten to clear a dungeon of that level, though we still got the first clear on that particular one.
To this day, I couldn't really tell you how much I was to blame for Z failing to get made a full member as compared to him. I'm pretty sure he'd never have come here, though. He was way too proud to go for less than a mid-range PVE. Probably even now he's still trying to find another path to one of the paradise ones."
