He can't hurt something with Ronan's face, not when he's always been so terrified of hurting Ronan, but the idea of this thing touching him - of letting it touch him again - is unacceptable on a very basic level. It turns his stomach to think about it.
He wants to get away, but Chainsaw and Aspen - he can't leave them, not when they could be injured, when something could happen to them.
