It was only an offer. An idea. But it's more of releasing what he previously felt and now he felt empty, lighter perhaps. He changed, the distance growing by the day, his gaze downcast. He swallowed his humiliation and while a part of him want to fight for the death of this man, but he can see the pain he caused him so it's a hopeless cause.

Rather than to give into despair, there's a purpose to this. "I agreed. It's not fair." Finding difficulty to speak. "The gift is thank you for the help as a friend."

Then with resolve, "That's why I'm...it's time for us to go back home, so I hope your husband finds a safe way and your journey continues."

Quieter, releasing the pain, but for his own good, "I'll do the same and take my Wei Ying back home."
