[ He wouldn't stop him. Even in this state, he's not the type to impose his will on others. If he was, Endeavor would've had an easier time molding him to his image. It's a suggestion given substance by the physical weight of his hand on his shoulder. Not heavy or exerting force; easily pushed aside. You need to care enough to force an issue and right now, that urgent need inside him to lend aid no longer drives him at full force.

It's slowed but not forgotten. He's focused on that blood. He's been a Hunter long enough to know what kind of corruption open wounds can cause. It would've been the first thing he addressed if he were in a normal state. He overreacted when Allen coughed up blood in the catacombs, creating a platform of ice to catch it before crystallizing it to keep it from corrupting him. He's too numb for that kind of reaction now, but he still cares. A fundamental part of him that neither side of him could ever smother. It's why even in this state, he's not cruel. ]
