>Why isn't the black whistle recovering the robot?
it's the bf of what's basically his daughter

also there's a reason everyone involved doesn't seem to care but it'll make you bitch even more

Spoiler that will be covered in the next few episodes: Riko was stillborn and the abyss gave her life. Ever since she was recovered she's been irresistibly drawn back to it. Habo and leader are some of the few that know that, and know they can't stop her from going down there now. And Reg will protect her. That's more valuable than pawning him off and crushing Riko's dreams. Not everyone is a total asshole in this series. Riko is like a daughter to Habo, and leader has basically been waiting for this moment for a decade since Lyza left him. The test is obvious. If they get hurt on the earliest layers, there's still a good chance of them being recovered. If they get carried through and hurt later, they're 100% done for.

Because it's a fucked up society that's built around that. Adults climb down the abyss, kids train to do the same, most of them ARE prepared to die, it's what they do. Think of it like Pokémon, your mom certainly wouldn't let you go on an extremely dangerous adventure on your own at 10 years old (where you'll basically go through the harshest environments, be hunted down by both wild creatures and adults, and probably meet God himself given enough time). It's unthinkable, but in these worlds you basically are raised to do so, it's a fantasy culture in a fantasy setting.

Remember that it's her job to go down there and die some day.

She can go die down there whenever she wants. Taking with her a extremelly valuable relic that has a mind of its own should be out of the question.

Nice answer. Thanks, anon.

I think his point it's not about the moral dilemma of letting a little girl go to die, but rather letting a unic artifact get lost.
