It's because I'm the only boy of the children they have. Out family isn't very large, so there's no one else to replace me. My sister would be more than fitting for the position, but the tradition doesn't let a girl rule the family.

[It's a thing he's wanted them to actually consider changing, but it hasn't been successful.]

Maybe... I'm just afraid that once I step into the residence, I wouldn't be able to come out of there and they wouldn't listen to me at all.
