does Eugene run off to be with who he thinks can protect him better? That has been his MO. He didn't just tell Rosita to take a right, take a left, take another right, just to find Glenn and Tara - he sensed their giving natures compared to Abraham's aggressive behavior. Abraham was giving as well - just in a bad place mentally. Eugene saved Abraham with his lies as much as Abraham saved him to be sure.
I think Eugene wanted more people, more options for his survival.
Granted, he was taken by Negan and he was brave to speak up....but Eugene can't be trusted.
He needed Sasha to stay and accept Negan to validate his own decision. Well, I'm not so wrong if someone like Sasha will do the same.
Eugene is a coward...that's fine. But he said it himself...he is a selfish coward. Selfish being the one trait you can't trust. Not in their world.
Abraham and Sasha were talking about dying is OK when you do it for others. To keep them safe. To keep the future going.
Eugene? Not at all.
When Eugene saw those books in his room, when he had a video game to play - plenty of food and strong people to watch over him - as one of the named and not a number - he was bought. Full hog.
But let's say he does help Rick and the rest get into the Sanctuary and then does even more to take the Saviors out, then maybe - just maybe - I'll grant him the exact same kind of reprieve Daryl granted Dwight. Provisional, and dependent upon outcomes.
That said - I have enjoyed Eugene in the comics.
