One possibility to consider: maybe Danbi thought he'd be teased and disrespected no matter where he went?
We should probably also consider that maybe he sticks around because he has an ounce of common sense and realizes wandering off in a world full of invasive species that could easily kill and/or eat him is a stupid idea.
Going by himself is probably several times easier than bringing a little child along, though...
Thank you! I hope you'll enjoy what the rest of the story has to offer. :D
