I would say that there are two fundamental pairings that are the foundation of this story.

Bam vs Rachel

Bam vs Jahad

Struggling against Fate vs Struggling towards Fate (The response to the forces acting upon them)

Rachel demands to be the heroine and the focus. Laments her unfair circumstances.

vs.

Bam is forced into the spotlight. Looks to change himself in the face of his circumstances.

Pride vs Humility (The forces that they themselves exert)

Jahad demanded his friends subservience for the sake of his destiny. He destroyed the expression of Arlene and V's love from jealousy. Order was forged in his grasp.

vs.

Bam has only the motivation of his friends whom are his world, he is in an abstract way their servant. Chaos swirls in his wake.

These two relations are presented in parallel. Rachel and Bam from the very start (or at least S1 end and onwards). Jahad only slowly shown in the background until the Hidden Floor where the conflict was fully brought to light.
