That's the question that's maybe been lingering for a long time, and Konstantin already knows what his own answer should be. He shouldn't have woken up again at all, after the cold barrel of a gun pressed to his shirtfront and the subsequent blast to follow. Shouldn't still be living.

But he doesn't know what he'd choose to do, this time. Now that he's been given some kind of... second chance. Maybe this time he's able to actually reach Aleksei.

He smiles, a little, and gives his head a shake.

"I don't know. But I'm not letting any of those people here capture me again. Or put me down like some animal."

It's a heavy thing to say — he smiles more, almost as if to counter the severity. But at the same time, he's watching Chloe carefully. Could be that some people wouldn't like his answer to keep on living even if he becomes something actively dangerous and hostile.
