[ The concern had primarily been that there might be some kind of remaining link between Yuji and Sukuna that would allow the King of Curses to learn of their plans. It's the same reason Yuta would argue applies in this place as well when Sukuna has some mysterious way to make himself look like Yuji.
Truthfully, that's just an excuse though.
What worries him far more is Yuji's willingness to turn himself into a vessel again. It's not a plan he wants to consider, even if it is a valid one. Having gone through his inventory of techniques, he knows he no longer possesses Angel's and that means he has no way of separating them and saving Yuji if they were to share a body again. If worse comes to worst (which it always does in their experiences) it could potentially mean that Yuta will be forced to uphold the very first promise he made to Yuji. He doesn't want that; will do anything to avoid having to kill a friend, doesn't want to find out if he's capable of that. He'd much rather take on the burden of taking care of it, share it only with a former enemy who's out for revenge anyway.
It's only at the question that Yuta realizes the strangeness of what he said and promptly turns sheepish. ]
I... ah, didn't go out much when I was younger.
[ Not after the age of ten. It's a delicate way of putting the increasing amount of isolation he'd been forced to put himself in as Rika only got more and more volatile and her jealous violence towards others started escalating over the years. ]
