They don't say it, of course, out loud, to his face. Marco has had to be forcibly dissuaded from doing so more than once, he's sure, and Rachel says everything with her eyes.
But he's always the new kid, and his father is (was) a spy -- he knows how to know what people don't say.
They've given him a gift, an incredible gift that they didn't want to let go of, but it's his now, and he doesn't plan to let it go to waste. (He doesn't want to die.) He doesn't want to be part of their little clique; he doesn't want to belong with a group like this, so self-righteous and noble and holier-than-thou-because-we-have-higher-morals-than-you.
He doesn't want to hurt anyone. (He doesn't want to be hurt.) He just wants to be allowed to leave.

Oh, this captures David very well - wanting to be included, but on his own terms or not at all. And the suspicion & frustration inherent in all that. :) Thank you!
But no, I was out for stars;
I would not come in.

And I hadn't been.
