[Now he's getting frustrated, back to his previous bad mood once more. The situation unnerves him, and he feels trapped and he's afraid, but it makes sense to him. This is his best chance; if he does what Raphael wants, gives in, lays low, and generally does nothing to draw negative attention to himself then he might get away with the archangel being present in the city without any further harm.

If not, and she decides to kill him, it's no different than what would happen as soon as he left the safety of the wards anyway. He already feels terribly claustrophobic after only a little less than a week of being confined to one building.

True, Rei could protect him long enough to get away if they had to, but then what? They would be right back to where they were before, only Rei would have an even bigger target on her than she already did. Everything lead back in a loop. There was no way out but to risk that Raphael would do as she'd claimed, and lay down her sword as a show of good faith.]

It isn't stupid, Rei. I know what I'm doing. What do you expect me to do; stay here forever?

[He feels vague offense at her words, though he isn't sure exactly which aspect is causing it. He's not trying to get himself killed, and he knew what was worth dying for and what wasn't. He'd laid down his life knowingly twice for it.]

There is no way out other than this. And if she kills me, I'll simply come back, again. Eventually, she will get bored, at the least.
