But the rest. The rest clearly had him quiet and thoughtful. He pulled out his omnicom and deleted the recording. Aside from potentially getting him, Judy, and Rocket into a world of trouble, it felt wrong for it to exist.

For a moment, he looked like he wanted to say something else, and then his mouth snapped shut and he just waved a paw at Grif in an angry, inarticulate gesture.

"I'm not doing this."

And then he was off. He disappeared with his powers and left because he needed to. Because it was hard to deal with when anger and guilt were vying for equal attention, especially when you weren't used to feeling either so strongly.
