Azekiel understood what Lia was trying to say. It was like a double-edged sword. It could be beneficial for them, making their team stronger. At the same time, it could also make them weaker by hurting Raphael.
In any case, it was something that they couldn't be hasty with, especially with the fragmented memories of Raphael.
Ultimately, it was decided that they weren't going to force anything. For now, the focus was on the task at hand, which was to find the Stone of Time. After they had the stone that could control the time, which could give them a safety net, they could attempt this.
After finally having a plan of action, Azekiel asked Raphael to carry them to their destination. Since Raphael could touch him, it was an easier mode of travel. Especially since it was his idea.
Raphael also didn't mind it. The faster they reached their destination, the more time they were going to have.
