It's not just going to be bad for you, it'll be bad for him too. I think... I think people might have been brainwashed into being sleeper agents. I don't know if they're being directly controlled, or if there's a certain trigger that causes them to act, but I don't believe he wanted to hurt you. I've seen him.

I didn't want to bring Junpei into the Nonary Game either. But if we hadn't done it, you know he would have suffered consequences that were far worse. It's the same here.
