Who is the main character in the story?
(You may say we don’t need this question but I would disagree. In every story on S:AAB there was always one character who was the focus. In Sugar Dirt is was Vansen where she had to keep the group together. In "To touch the Stars" (I believe that is the title) the main character was Wang who was dealing with his lack of faith. If you look at any Space episode you will find one character who the show is focusing on.)
