Everyone is so good to Ken's partner on this train. It's strange; he'd arrived here determined to become a part of the team because they had a mission to fulfill he believed in. But now he wants to fulfill that mission because it matters to the people on the train.
What the Voidtrecker Express expects of him - they don't know that. But he does know he's here, and Nita's here, and everyone's here, and everyone cares enough for each other that after a near-rout they're all scrambling to prevent another. Desperate not to lose anyone else.
He fell into a bad habit because he cares. What had Wormmon called it, ten years ago...? No, he's asking rhetorically, he's never forgotten, not after nearly losing the lesson for good. Overwhelmed by your own kindness.
Ken can give this train his kindness. But he also wants to give it his strength.
"How is everyone else on the team?" he asks, and he doesn't just mean the people in the orange polo shirts. Romeo. The Professor. Madoka-chan. Koumyou the priest, who he's only just met, but who saved his life without a second thought.
Ken is frustrated. Ken is torn. These are his emotions, he accepts them. This is a place where they will be accepted.
So, for that place's sake, he won't let them hold him back.
