Khaz was present with a burden of guilt, acknowledging the weight of recommending Isiah to the underground city.
However, deep down, he was fully aware that Isiah alone bore the responsibility for any decisions that could impact his people.
The absence of Isiah had already stirred anxiety within Khaz. Unable to return to work due to his injuries, he visited to check up on them.
Seizing the opportunity, Lexie asked him, "I want to integrate into this place, and I wonder if you could help me do this."
Lexie's desire to contribute and be useful, rather than sitting idly while waiting for Isiah to return, was evident. She sought a meaningful role within the underground city but was uncertain about where to begin.
However, Khaz looked at her with disappointment and said, "I don't know if you notice, but this place is not really what you think. Integrating into this place is just... a shitty thing to do."
