But God, it scares him. For Kyosuke's sake, for Chisa's sake. Chisa, who had been everything they'd despised and fought tooth and nail all these years, but whom he can't see as anything other than a victim after watching that memory of how it came to that. They hadn't known. He hadn't known the true sick extent of Enoshima's power.

He wants her back.
Juzo refuses to give in to the desire to look away; his own hands make tight fists, jaw tense.]
She needs help! Shit. Munakata—do you have any idea how much I hate choking on my pride like this? Going to them to save her? But she's still in there! Yukizome—she's still inside. I don't care what we have to do to save her. It wasn't her fault!
