I don't know about you, but if I was one of four people from another world summoned to a new world, I'd feel some sense of belonging together with the other three in a distinct group (not something like being friend or anything, but just as being an outsiders vs all the original inhabitants). So, if the world suddenly turned against one of the four in a case that looks quite dubious, I couldn't avoid thinking: Who's next? It's an example of how they merely consider the heroes as tools. They treat the other three better, sure, but for how long? Should they become inconvenient, like the Shield Hero was from the very beginning merely by being the Shield Hero, the locals would quickly get rid of them as well. That's what I'd believe.
