Fuck. This is how people deal with him, isn't it? This is a slap to the face of self-realization, which persona users are particularly great at doing, but he doesn't have time to wax philosophically about any of that, because he's reaching forward to grab the holy grail of bullshit in the form of a glass sphere, and Ryuji grits his teeth.]
Dude!!! Don't be such a goddamn piece of shi---
[Nope, that last expletive is just going to be erased from the annals of history, because Bakugo's just going for it, apparently. He must be really, really unfamiliar with magic items and how incredibly cursed they are in this world. Spend five minutes with the chef robot from hell, Satanbot Bender III, and you're bound to find that out pretty quick. Ryuji's only frame of reference here was his own test, where the relic was at the very end of everything. Him and Qrow had to endure psychological warfare in the form of their pasts, put on display for both of them to see and mingle with each other, and at the finale, chanced upon a grave that they had to dig up to get to the final part.
But this looks like it's taking the entirety of the last test and pulling it in reverse- pitting the relic first and the Western Front of theater of mind wars right after. The context, to Ryuji, is blanked out. He has no idea where they are or what they're in store for, but judging by the blank look on his teammate's face, he knows that it's not good. This must've been a time in his life where he felt he failed. He's seen that before. He knows what it feels like. And if this world is going to mind meld with his own, if that's still a thing that's going to happen, those negative emotions are going to take the form of cognition that will literally come to attack the both of them. Ryuji needs to do something, he's the veteran here.
He wanted to be a huntsman, and that comes with protecting people. So, do it.]
Wherever we are, I know it completely reeks anal juice, but we can't stand still. This is the test, it's gonna fuck with your head and you can't... you can't let it get to you, man.
[He'll reach out for Bakugo's arm and begin to pull him out of the way. They shouldn't be out in the open. Regroup, come up with a plan, execute it.]

For the record, this ain't! A request! Let's GO.
