"I refuse!"
Rey's answer was the same as the last time, and for good reason.
'I still don't trust this Oracle character. If Esme becomes like that… will she really still be Esme? There's a lot we don't even know, so making an informed decision right now is impossible…'
There was also the fact that he already knew of another way to get The Oracle to do what he wanted. All he had to do was find Adonis and convince him to ask her to save Alicia.
'The easy part is convincing him. I'll have to find him first.' Rey thought to himself, but still considered that to be a much more solid plan than literally selling Esme off.
The last reason—certainly not the least one—on his mind was that Esme would no longer be with him if she became The Oracle.
Yes, it was a little too selfish, which was why Rey didn't want to give it so much priority.
But… that was just how he felt.
