Maya, who usually maintained a calm disposition, became quite talkative after acquiring the iron supplies, unable to suppress her excitement. It wasn't because the metal was valuable, but rather, to Maya, metal was a ticket home.
Seeing this, Lin Wu became somewhat worried. He sincerely hoped that the road was Highway 99; otherwise, the disappointment for Maya would be cruel. Maya let herself get excited, kept busy, and didn't have the time to think about whether it was Highway 99 or not. Wasn't this a form of escape?
When the usually composed Maya showed such emotions, it represented the eager desire she had to return home. Lin Wu didn't want Maya to be disappointed, but their chances were only 50%, and their fate was not in their own hands.
The heart should harbor hope, but not be excessively demanding, otherwise, it can easily fall into endless hell.
