It's funny how that is. Five doesn't have much of a problem interrogating people when he wants to, and most don't even hesitate to tell him everything he needs to know. Others he doesn't have to because they'll offer it up without any effort on his part. In this case, his response is what gets him to look over at him. Strangely close to an apology for choking him.
Which, for the record, is a terrible idea to do to someone mid-teleport. They're lucky to have ended up back in the barn and not in the middle of the lake or midair because his calculations got thrown off.
He contemplates as he sits on the floor, wondering at the possibilities. For all they know, someone manipulated Haltham into taking over a nice secluded place where they'd be surrounded and easy to pick off.
But he's been called paranoid before. When Arche asks him if he's going to try again, he has to think it over.
"Well, you don't always succeed on the first experiment." Might as well call it what it is. He's not sure what Arche is proposing, but it's true that Five isn't going to wait around for them to come after his family. "As many of us are here, someone is bound to make the same mistake."
