In "Gold Wing Harp", Gimel and Zayin discuss the concept of salvation. Gimel disparages Zayin's idea that it should be accessible to all people, arguing that the Center does not have the resources to accommodate everyone and adding that there is a growing corruption within the Center that must be destroyed. | In "Gold Wing Harp", Gimel and Zayin discuss the concept of salvation.

In "Laurel Leaf", Gimel is asked a multitude of questions by a priest while the [[Elders]] observe. The questions are centered around the concept of salvation and the Messiah and [[YHVH|God]]'s role in delivering it. Gimel gives very extremist answers to them, claiming that those who will be saved obey God's authority unquestioningly, and if they do not they should be destroyed. Even if people try to obey God, if they do not fit in with God's purpose, they should be destroyed, for it is God and the Messiah who determine who should be saved and who should be happy; People's will is unnecessary. | In "Laurel Leaf", Gimel is asked a multitude of questions by a priest while the [[Elders]] observe.

Though the Elders note that his way of thinking is akin to that of a ruler's than one of a Messian's, they reassure themselves that no mistakes will occur with him so long as he remains under their control, and the scene ends with Gimel silently standing alone. | ||
