It feels like a coward's way out, in most respects. But it's an opportunity he can't afford to pass up, considering the risk he'd be taking otherwise - staying here in Panem could mean any number of things going wrong. More chaos, more loss, more death and pain that could be caused by his own hands if he's pulled under their control again. The more he thinks about it, the more he finds it wasn't as if he was helping the war efforts anyway. His missions failed more often than not, and he could barely lift his bow without shaking like a leaf in a hurricane. He's no good to anyone here.
That's what he keeps trying to tell himself, at least. The right thing to do would be to stay, to keeping trying to help even when there's no hope left. The rebels need everyone they can, don't they?
But when a hand is offered to him, Jeremy hesitates, his hands shaking when he finally answers. There's not much time.
"... I can't!" He hates himself for being such a pathetic coward, for thinking of himself over others, but once the thought's in his head he just can't let it go. He's going home.

"I-- I have to go."
