3 Freedom Seeks freedom from oppressive rule or imprisonment by any means necessary
4 Greed Wants treasure pure and simple and resorts to extreme measures to get it
5 Illness Seeking to prevent the spread of disease or desperate for a cure
6 Justice Just redress for past wrongs, but exonerates themselves of all wrongdoing involved
7 Longing Longs for acceptance or love (perhaps from one person in particular)
8 Loss Threat to a loved one drives them to extreme measures
