When Ves decided to pull off a radical trick that he had only fantasized about in his mind, he did not know whether he could succeed.
The consequences of failure were extremely dire. His body could explode. His body could merge into a transphasic stone wall. Not all of his body might be able to make it to the other side!
Yet Ves had multiple reasons to go through with this measure.
First, the existence of Veronica meant that anything he did would not end his life right away. A mistake that could prove fatal to others was not a one-way ticket to death.
Second, being proactive was better than sitting around doing nothing. Ves did not want to leave the initiative to his abductors. Who knew what the other party would do if more time passed by. Since he had the power to leave, why not try and see if he could improve his own situation?
