I think if he would’ve been like “I’ve rally changed my mind. I can’t do this.” Neo and Morpheus I feel would’ve tried to help him re-enter the matrix.
The whole thing was about “give them a choice” and I think everyone would have at least understood how he fealt and would’ve tried to get him back into the matrix at his request.
I feel like he didn’t even try talking about it before he went to the agents.
I know it’s meaningless just wondering what other people thought.
You make a good point. If I remember correctly he does those comments in the movie too. Wasn’t it him who says if you close your eyes the food tastes like runny cereal? It might have been mouse. Either way your logic sounds good. He probably made passing comments often and no one noticed.
