"Of course not," Inigo is quick to confirm.

Even if the reality might be a little more nuanced than that - but Jingyi's statement is still true. Inigo doesn't seek death. He isn't sure what to do with his life once his purpose has run out back home, sure, but that's different. It doesn't mean he wants to die, if he can help it.

Maybe if he had a good reason, if his death could save lives.. then sure, it's better for him to die than someone else, someone with an actual future of their own.

But dying meaninglessly, senselessly? Just to test something? That's not enough of a good reason.

".. are you saying you'd be sad too if I was the one dying?"

That's not really a honest question. If not just because that puppy-eyed look in Inigo's eyes looks like he's just begging for some validation here, more than looking for a serious answer to an actual serious situation that could actually happen. Maybe it's just nice to hear that you matter, especially when Inigo is so bad at generating that feeling on his own.
