I don’t know how else to explain the weird scene when they were sitting around the table and decided to each take 5 minutes to explain their personal backstories.
There were also a lot of unexplained relationships and friendships.
Or that 20 min gift giving ceremony by the villager girl. She gave an impassioned citation to every member of the party and she has never met any of them nor would she have any idea of any of their accomplishments!
