If we're really holding the concept of *protecting our identities so the Yeerks don't find us* up to light, they really do a terrible job of this. The Opinionated Animorphs guide does a better job of explaining it than I can, but idk, I really can't agree with that because if Tobias is giving their names away IN THE FIRST PLACE, he's certainly not thinking about it on a level deep enough to realize *if they get one, they have us all*. He's bartering with him self, making concessions, thinking "I'll give them all up to make the pain stop, but not her."
And as far as that quote, idk, it doesn't help my case but that last part proves that his ability to judge reality is skewed. He's in a lot of pain, and he's just thinking about how terrible the Yeerks are, how vicious, how impossible it is for anyone to survive them. He's operating under no hope or realism. He is the direct recipient of all of their wrath, and his whole perception is skewed by that. I really don't think anything Tobias says in these chapters answers to logic or rationality. Which is part of what makes them so disturbing to read. Protecting Rachel and not the rest was not a rational decision, to me it was just the WRONG irrational decision. idk
