Maybe she thought it would make it harder for you all to escape.
It would harder to run away without protection for your feet.

[Limiting a captive's mobility is strategy that makes sense to him anyway.]

They are different? How so?

[If their brothers have differences, perhaps he and his otherworld self have differences as well. As strange as his situation is, Huaisang can't help but be a little curious. Not that he's in any rush to believe these otherworlders. He might believe the men that he's met to be sincere in their beliefs and he's not so arrogant to dismiss the legitimacy of the world they came from. Aside from Jiang Wanyin's spiritual weapon bearing some resemblance to the ring Jiang Cheng wears back home, Huaisang's yet to see irrefutable proof that any of this more than a string of peculiar coincidences and similarities.

For now, he's content to think of it all as a strange curiosity and leave it at that.]
