Originally, prompted by those weird, unorthodox feelings, Theo felt like he should stay with his disciples.
What kind of a teacher would he be if he let them to their own devices in an unknown place, locked in the very middle of a military-focused mansion? Or, what was even more important, what kind of a person would leave someone who just lost all their cultivation and then miraculously regained it while improving its quality by leaps and bounds to just sleep on their own in the eye of a massive formation they could only guess the purpose of?
By all means, by all factors and angles, Theo should've stayed back, at least until his disciples woke up, at least until he could ensure the supposed benefits of this courtyard weren't actually a demerit to them in their current state.
All of that went along Theo's logic, Theo's line of thinking, and Theo's common sense. And all of those concerns died off when confronted by a single line from Celeste's lips.
