[There's no doubt that, if Guy asked for something unreasonable, Luke would still try to fulfill it. He's a deviance who still chose to carry the world that rejected him, no matter what regrets he had. They don't talk about Akzeriuth anymore, but they've all heard him crying at night when he thought everyone had fallen asleep. The world and its Score were burden enough: there was no need to add more to Luke's shoulders when he already believed he was far, far from repentance.
With every fiber of his being, Guy hates it. He hates how Luke had to struggle to find personhood. He hates how Luke has to fulfill his role as scion while being treated as a mistake. And he hates how, if the safety of their imperfect world was promised, Luke would toss down his life in a heartbeat.
But it was Luke who taught him to feel something beyond hate again. To see the good in a world he used to curse. It's something he fights to keep. If he loses that small hope--
So he opts for something selfish, because he knows Luke wouldn't make that choice for himself:]
Stay alive. [Simple. Direct.] No matter what happens, we're going to go home together.
