One: the Reformer
Ugh! This is so frustrating! If people would just do what they're supposed to do, this wouldn't be an issue. I'm trying to do things right. Why can't others? — Spirit of Impatience and Anger and Self-Righteousness
Two: the Helper
Of course, there's a problem and I understand why those people are having issues. If people just let me manage and counsel them, they'd be in a much better place. But people don't appreciate my opinions. —Spirit of Pride and Resentment
Three: the Achiever
The sooner we all accept there's a problem, the sooner we can work efficiently towards an achievable solution: the solution being the excellent performance that we have to offer. — Spirit of Deceit, Anxiety and Pride
Four: the Individualist
Am I the problem? I'm usually the problem. So what do you say I've done now? Oh gosh, all of this makes me feel so misunderstood and judged. People just don't see what I mean. —Spirit of Envy, Discontentment, and Self-Pity
Five: the Observer
I don't entirely understand the problem yet. There are so many unexplained factors, hidden motives, changing variables. I would need to gather information before making up my mind about what to do. — Spirit of Disengagement, Fear, and Greed
Six: the Loyalist
I knew this would happen! I've been trying to tell people this is a problem for ages. If we just had people at the helm that we could trust, these bad things wouldn't happen! — Spirit of Fear and Misplaced Trust
Seven: the Enthusiast
You're looking at the cup as if it were half empty. It's really not that bad. I can think of countless blessing and joys that have happened too. Let me tell you them. —Spirit of Fear and Gluttony
Eight: the Challenger
Of course, there's a problem! And you're all going to hear how mad it makes me. After that I'll tell you which leaders are misusing their power and I'll tell you how we need to stand up for ourselves and make sure we're not just going along with the crowd. — Spirit of Lust, Anger and Self-Preservation
Nine: the Peacemaker
Is there a problem? I didn't notice anything. Oh, you mean that? Yeah, that happens. No big deal. — Spirit of Sloth, Apathy, and Disengagement
