Kia still didn't know for sure how many people in Johto were from their world in the future and how many were from completely different worlds where something that terrible was fortunate enough to have never happened. If other Rockets were from different places, he couldn't be too mad at them for coming up with or going along with this proposal. Others who knew and decided not to care, though, weren't people he could care about or even be attracted to.
They might have different goals, but the tone and interest felt too similar for him to enjoy even if there wasn't any talk about trying to do more than improve. As he'd heard from people who cared about religion, the road to Hell was paved with good intentions. Even he and Louise intended well but hurt people along the way. Just not in a way that could, and had in their world, been used to justify mass murder.
The benefits of being part of Team Rocket didn't seem as worthwhile anymore.
Once he noticed Louise being serious, he had part of his answer already. Louise had to have seen the message too. "Yeah, I did. I was seeing if you had, actually." Kia stepped in closer to him and reached out to rest one hand on Louise's arm, just for familiarity and warmth.
