[He follows, of course, picking up pace when Wesker does and keeping up with him well enough even though the momentary calm and clarity has worn off. It's replaced with the anxiety from earlier, and the loud metallic noises are certainly not helping. He's determined not to turn and run, because of his pride, mainly, but that stops mattering the moment he finally recognizes what's in front of him.

...Okay, so it's not exactly Uroboros, but it's close enough that the comparison is drawn immediately, and given Wesker's memories and knowledge of Uroboros, there's no doubt he's seen it too. He's about to turn to check on Wesker, because that's important, because he needs to make sure his husband is okay—
And then Wesker's laughing, and once again Jaeger's struck with a crystal clear sense of what he needs to do. That isn't to say the fear and anxiety fade entirely - in some ways, they're only amplified now - but he's physically settled a bit, and when he reaches out for Wesker's hand, his grasp is firm.]
Albert. We need to go.
[The words are also surprisingly firm, there isn't any hint of the fear that's still coursing through him.]

We aren't staying here. We need to leave. Now.
