G'raha is quiet as he considers it - though his serious contemplation is briefly interrupted by an affronted look at the comment about self-sacrifice. He opens his mouth to ask how Theo even knows that and then closes it again because, well, it's obvious isn't it? Even if Theo hadn't gotten to know him better during his adventures with the other version of him, the very fact he had to come into the Crystal Tower to have this conversation is testament to his predilictions.
A sheepish look flickers over his face before he looks back down at the crystal. He has something else to consider, too. Theo seems different, more open, and he can't help but wonder if that's a result of the time they spent together, can't help but be curious about those memories... Theo is right, there's no telling what might happen, but the curiosity niggles at him.
In the end it seems obvious to him - Theo may have spoken in euphemisms but it's clear the other him is no more, all that remains of him is in this crystal, and how can he just abandon that? Abandon himself? More than that, how can he just let all that knowledge be lost? Maybe the other G'raha knew something that would allow him to leave the tower, to keep it safe without his presence...
"I appreciate you giving me the choice, and all the facts that you can," he says eventually "but I think... I think I have to do it. It might not work as intended, yes, but the possibilities if it does... I need to. I want to."
