As much as he doesn't want to align with Arthur on anything in this moment, he's concerned about John as well. Arthur was not fucking holding back when he bit. It's deeply unsettling to see how willingly he injured John. To Charlie, that's the part which most clearly drives home that Arthur wasn't in his right mind.
He's thinking longingly of the door. So long as neither of them are actively dying he'd like to go on a long fucking walk and lick his wounds and not think about how quickly Arthur would have taken him down in the pits. His head keeps trying to spin up war games about it. He's repeatedly shutting down thoughts of but if I did THIS- and let's be honest, that sucks.
