He isn't really sure what else is left for him, anymore, so striking out on his own would just be more of the same. It wouldn't be the worst thing, he thinks, but when Natasha says she doesn't want this for herself, he feels a little tired. Maybe she's right.

Altruistic of you.
[Once, he would've said the same thing, but he can't afford that kind of selflessness now. There simply isn't that much of him left to give.]
