Talk:Vol.2 Ch.192: 38F - Hell Train: The Dallar Show (21)/@comment-16674955-20160309174215/@comment-26484417-20160310150513

She's definitely a different case, but I believe the difference can be accounted for by what I mention in my previous comment. The difference is a matter of variables that—when put together—constitute the conviction and strength of the belief therein.

This is also why you cannot quite expect Rankers to have the same reaction as Regulars when their beliefs are challenged. Rankers have "seen it all"; they have gone through all the floors all the way to the 134F, they have seen previously unimaginable powers as well as the different limits of those who failed to reach the top, and they had to find where they belong in the society of Rankers. Regulars are essentially babies in comparison; their convictions are fragile and full of gaps that can only be filled as they climb and grow. The longer a consistent conviction holds the less fragile it becomes, until it finally reaches the threshold where it's unthinkable for the individual that things are / work any other way.
