But still, he shook his head and murmured, “It’s not that I’m unwilling to make an exception, Miya. The thing is, this expedition is exceedingly dangerous. I’m not one with the final say. The team consists of a dozen people. It’s no use if I’m the only person agreeing to it. After all, cooperation is required throughout the journey.
