"Not because I was some sort of threat to them. People around me died." Allera sat up. “People around me died… whoah, nauseous… people around me die too.” They gestured to the assassin’s burned corpse. “Also, if you leave this ship, someone will notice you. If they notice you, they notice us, and if they notice me, I die.”

Anyway, the way I see it, if Variance had experience his imprisonment normally, there's no way he'd want to go back. However, his mind was and still is kind of frozen, so the imprisonment wasn't maddening and the deaths he caused are still fresh in his mind.
