He's got some other entity controlling him. Knowing I'd have to put it back after finally getting it out for a while would be pretty hard for me too.
For added context, this is the sprite a moment before the one I posted above. He clearly dips his head down.
The phone just got done talking about how he has to be at the church tonight, and needs the soul for something.

I don't think he's some sort of pathetic angster. He's just on a mission that he doesn't enjoy, probably for some greater purpose we don't know, or because he's being threatened, or bribed.
