Out of the question. Just because it's been relatively safe so far doesn't mean it will continue to be; there's no predicting the behavior of scumbags who have somehow pulled off kidnapping hundreds of people like this.

[Oh, they'll know. Anything that happens to Kalim, any injuries, any discrepancies..... He'll be the one who has to answer for them. And if he's being held accountable, that risks the rest of his family being held accountable, too. It's just going to be a mess all around, one he needs to be present for to prevent as much as possible.

He just..... can't let Kalim get hurt. That's all there is to it. It's so simple and obvious, even Kalim himself should be capable of understanding. Right?]
