He's pretty sure he makes that much clear all the time, at least, but he still wants to make sure that despite what he's about to say, that much really is the truth. "But I.. I wouldn't really leave anything behind. The future we traveled from to the past is gone. And in the past I'm stuck in now, my father and mother will have a baby Inigo who will grow up without a war. One different from me."
Probably much better than him. He's lacking in so many ways. The way he's lived has broken him in so many ways too. That Inigo will be able to grow up without any of it. Maybe he can actually become a good person. (Maybe Yuki would have liked that Inigo better than him, he can't help but worry.)
"So there won't be a place for me anymore back there. It would just confuse people as to why there are two versions of the same person around. I'd have to change my name and my looks, and go off to live as a different person somewhere. No one would need me. There's absolutely no reason for me to stick around back home."
