Max's arrangement with Eggsy--and with Furiosa, and with anyone else he'll ever meet--is that it's going to be temporary. But he wants them alive and happier than when he found them, and if he can't guarantee a feeling he can at least make sure they survive.

The truth is he's not sure how many more deaths he can stand to be a part of. Even these fake deaths on the Barge rattle him badly. He doubts he'll be of any use to Eggsy at all right now, but perhaps Rey knows better. And besides, he'd rather be there for protection.

"Come with me. See how he is, see if I missed something."
