Because this isn't about a fire for us to put out. This is about us being us. This is about us leaving our city because things got rough. If we don't go back, how can we ever show our faces there again?
I know they want us there for something. It's a big, huge red flag. But if we don't call their bluff, we risk them having something we won't be prepared for later. We need to be in Locke because it's too big of a risk for us not to be.
There's also a big PR benefit for us - if they challenge us to return, and then something happens to us on their watch, they're going to look exceptionally suspicious. They'll have an obligation to keep their noses clean, at least for a little while.
