[ Spock stubbornly doesn't want hope. Whatever fleeting comfort that can be offered here will not make better what he will face upon his return.
He knows when he goes back he will have killed a man with his bare hands to satisfy an emotional need for revenge, and what's worse is that he doesn't even think he'll regret it. He's ruined, and whatever world Kirk is going to make - because he can, because he has to - he will need a better Spock there to hold him together. ] There are no-win scenarios.
