He had left Rin waiting for longer than he intended. She would be impatient, and might come looking for them if he or Jabi didn't return to her soon, "will you see Rin before you go?"

Tsubasa had wanted her to leave without speaking to Rin, so that Rin would learn to accept a sudden loss just as she would have to if he or Jabi were to be cut down. Now he worried that Rin would hate him if he didn't give her a chance to say goodbye. It seemed that was going to happen no matter what he did. Either she would be angry with him for sending Jabi away, or Jabi would stay and continue to convince Rin that Tsubasa didn't understand her and was not making the effort to involve himself in her life. It was becoming difficult to silence the part of his mind that told him he could not die with Rin thinking he hadn't cared; and he had no answers.
