Fall just happens to look towards the camera, she's still talking to the wizard. There's definitely no 4th wall breaking. I thought it was so obvious that there was no need for an explanation as just watching the video gave it away. She blatantly faces the camera as she says: "We do what we can for everyone, because we are able." Because that is the moral of the story. That's the point. She's telling that to the audience. Because it is a story. That's what stories do. Give messages and lessons learned from the story to the readers.

'''"Do what you can for everyone, not because someone is special, but because you are able to." Is the moral of the story. It is pointed out by Fall literally telling it to the audience.'''

This is animation. You have to animate everything. If they weren't trying to make a point they woudn't have animated Fall facing the camera. They would just make her face the Wizard like all the other three.

Is your argument just: "She looks at the camera but doesn't actually look at the camera. And they animated that for no reason." Because as an animator I can tell you if they wanted her to look around they would have had her facing anywhere else but the camera. No animator... no filmmaker who takes things seriously would have a character face the camera for no reason. That's bad filming. It should be only used in very special cases. (Like this one)

Have you watched Red vs Blue? I can give you a number of similar scenes where people are still talking but the direction of the person/camera changes showing that they are talking to someone else/talking about someone else. They are saying the same sentence, but you have to accept that it takes a different meaning when they are saying that to someone else. ...I even have a good example from RWBY.

(That was way more text than I intended to write. Sorry. But I can't understand how you don't see that.)

PS: Will you be going over other captions or other trivia sections? There are a number of similar captions and a number of erroneous trivia points all over the wiki.
