Abe, known for his intelligence within the group, tackled the puzzles with impressive speed but struggled with the final problem. He expressed his disappointment, sharing, 'I'm disappointed~. I failed, but it was fun!' The experience, while challenging, showcased their camaraderie and provided a glimpse into their personalities beyond the stage.
