[Even if Fukuda was the type to assert himself, he wouldn't have been especially willing to here for two reasons. One, this is a frankly shockingly beautiful man, what right does Fukuda have to talk to someone who's that pretty and apparently from the notes Viktor's speaking of, brilliant???
But more substantively... Who would Fukuda be to tell someone else not to attempt to end their life? He understood what drove someone there, especially with the vague semi-shared context he has from Viktor's memory. When you don't have anything else to lose, when the prospect of continuing another day seems interminable, the idea of just Stopping is so, so hard to resist. And he hadn't resisted. The fact that he's here now and fine with it was a complete fluke, even if it's not an unwelcome one.
So instead he just sits down, not planning on interfering, but then Jayce says that, and Fukuda can't help but nod in understanding and muse;]
Thinks like that just make you wish other people could see inside your head, don't they?
