Hercules has had a lot of unwinable arguments in his life, quite a lot of them with his wife when she was sick, when she wanted him to leave her so that he and Chuck wouldn't have to go through watching her die slowly and painfully. He knows how to do this.

So instead of getting angry at her, he just lets her push out of his arms, lets her stand and try to make him angry. It won't work.

I don't want to go. His head hurts. He should go. He should disconnect and go lie down and look back on his life choices. But he doesn't want to. And I won't blame you for this because it's not your fault.
