Elliot's been thinking about this. Individuality is important to him, normally, but enough erosion of self and it wouldn't be anymore. And wouldn't it be nice to just relax into being one of many for goddamn once? He's never had that, never managed to even fake normalcy successfully for any length of time. Maybe it'd be peaceful.
Besides: "I'm used to voices in my head," he points out.
And it's a small price to pay. Death, absorption, whatever. He can put his own fears and ego aside for what they're going to achieve (maybe that, too, is an aspect that makes him more suitable for a hivemind.) Because Darlene's not wrong, and the confirmation is a ripple, a flicker in his mind: he's into this.
