The words aren't harsh, but there's a lot of firmness behind them.
He knows she only wants to help; he knows that she, and his Kate, are just worried about him and trying to look after him, but each time he hears one of them say how they've failed in protecting him makes him feel his own failure a hundred fold more.
They aren't supposed to be safeguarding him. It's his job, his responsibility to look out for them and himself, and each time something happens it's on him, because he isn't doing what he's supposed to. He's not fulfilling the role that's his to take on.
"Kate, I'm not blamin' you, Ramon's the crazy asshole who's taken this thing as far as it's gone. I ain't askin' you t'leave, neither. Not for forever."
He takes a breath, trying to calm himself and piece his thought together into words.
"This place it -- crazy as it is, it means a lot t'me, an' I think it does for you, too. I don't want you losin' whatever y'have here. It's not fair."
