Moonstone Quarry And The Light may Shine in Your Eyes

Yeah, at this point Mal just needed to get away and go home. He had his own issues to go through and all he was doing here was wasting his time dealing with someone else's and he wasn't even sure the guy really wanted the help. And after all that was said, Mal wasn't going to risk giving a Nightwalker any sort of ammo to use against him later. There were too many ways for that to go wrong and he didn't want to see any of them.

Still, he was pretty sure he was back on track now, and up ahead where the track opened up they'd be able to go different ways. Literally, figuratively, both. Mal wouldn't be sad if he didn't see Memory again if he was gonna keep down the same figurative path. Less trouble. I've been getting out of here. You're not going to be going the way I am up ahead. So good luck or whatever. All up to you if you do anything in the end. Why did it seem like so many people were making choices that weren't good ones? Whatever. Some of them couldn't be helped. Maybe some could, but at this point it was up to them. Mal could only do so much. It wasn't like he was going to stick around for long goodbyes, either -- Mal was going to just keep walking.
