"Self-preservation at the cost of what, Locus' stability?" It's a low blow, but that's where they are right now. "You're not walking away - you're running. You walked in, made an assumption, fucked up, and now you want to run away from the consequences and leave Locus to figure shit out on his own? Like hell. You're going to go back in there and deal with the mess you made like a goddamn adult, not because I'm telling you to, but because Locus is your friend and he deserves better from you."
