"It will help me understand what it is we've done. And what--who you are now." Simple, immediate, straightforward. Now that he's decided on this course of action he'll see it through ruthlessly.
(Maybe, not more than a little, because it's not just sympathy he feels for the SQUIP: there's a time Myr had answered questions after his own condition with the same self-annihilating bleakness.)
"As you've said, there's no way any of us escape this through death." Whether or not he's considered, from a detached standpoint, how one might destroy another person beyond the Coven's ability to resurrect; that went above and beyond merely killing into atrocities. "For the sake of those around us," Linden, "I'd do better to know rather than assume."
Which isn't really all of it--so much is clear in the careful way he says it--but the rest of his reasons are yet uncoalesced, not amenable to words. Except: "And you sound like you need someone to listen."
