Sending Tourmaline away had not been Saine's idea, but a decision made by his grandmaster, Cuilisi.
In recent years, the changing circumstances of the civilization war had made Cuilisi feel that the dangers she faced in battle were growing ever greater.
Cuilisi knew Tourmaline's background better than anyone.
Compared with the starfield where her own legion was stationed, Cuilisi believed that Bai Xing, Tourmaline's elder sister, was in a safer place.
Put another way, Cuilisi did not particularly want to take on the responsibility of protecting Tourmaline.
During a civilization war, she could not keep watch over Tourmaline at all times.

Under such circumstances, sending Tourmaline back to her elder sister and the others meant Cuilisi would have nothing more to do with it, and she was happy to have it easier.
Saine also supported his mentor's decision.

The robot Wall-E had long been waiting there. It was now Saine's most important assistant in mechanical studies.
Ever since leaving the subspace secret realm, Wall-E had clearly grown very fond of its current surroundings.
Assisting Saine with mechanical research experiments in the laboratory seemed to have let Wall-E find the meaning
