** The members of the [[Five

Sam realizes he's going to die and leaves the group, Tony gets sick of playing second fiddle, Jack gets fed up with being [[The Load]], Charlie gets tired of not being as smart as the others, Alice gets bored with being [[The Medic]], and Bob grows weary of being a vessel for [[Character Development]], leaving Yuki asking everyone not to leave.
* '''Reconstructed''': The members of the [[Five
* '''Zig Zagged''': They are the [[
* '''Averted''': Bob works alone, or with only one or two other people.
