No... I have too much to lose if I'm reckless. [he'll elaborate on that.]
I would do anything to protect any of you... my family. Even if it means my own life. But I won't do anything to put life in danger any other way. If I'm gone...
[he closes his eyes, and though the sentiment is definitely a bittersweet one, considering what he knows about the other timelines now—he sounds more resolved than anything else.] Everyone would be sad. I know they would get by, but I can't do anything to do that to them unless it really can't be helped.
[he won't go blindly getting in over his head or fighting monsters or men that could take his life just for the thrill. he can't live like the hot-blooded kid he was eighteen years ago. he has a family to protect and provide for.]

If I make them sad... then I'll have failed them.
