He'll let the God of Death grab onto him, but he immediately answers, "Than, no, I can't abandon her now-- please don't move me away, I have to make her see reason. I have to stop this-- I can't let her take you or Emporio. She might listen to me if I'm the God of Life after all--"

He focuses again on his memories despite the interruption, trying to make Kolokifi see them. There's some small amount of sanity left in her, isn't there? Isn't that what they saw when she paused like that, spoke of a premonition?

"Please, Lady Summer, Life-Giver! We want to help you! Gods damn it all, we want to heal you! What those earlier Invaders did to you and your world was wrong - we want to help fix the damage! For your pantheon, for your people, for your whole world...!"
