Gawain has always been quite interested in the ancient Gondor Empire's immense "Defied Plan"—from a certain perspective, he felt the plan couldn't just be described as immense; it could even be termed as great.
This was a plan where humans, after confirming the existence of gods and facing a world dominated by supernatural powers, took the initiative to resist deities as a means of survival—in the modern world a thousand years later, human civilization has declined, and races other than humans seem to be mired in stagnation. Gawain saw too much rigidity, backwardness, ignorance, and decay in this era; nevertheless, small sparks from the defied plan still persist within this dark chaos. Even if it's just a spark or two, it proves one thing to Gawain:
At their core, humans in this world have the urge to resist and survive.
