Fear of falling in love, fear of death, fear of each other — the whole world of Fuse is filled with fear.
In fact, fear can actually be seen as a good thing in this book. Without it, characters wouldn't be pushed to achieve change, and they would simply give up. El Capitan, one of the bravest characters, is actually plagued by a constant state of fear. Sure, being afraid can be paralyzing, but these characters have endured so much suffering that fear becomes instilled in their minds. They can't choose not to be afraid, so hey, they might as well use it towards their advantage.
