[He doesn't say anything else in response to this at first as he inwardly struggles to come to a decision.
In his mind and in his heart live a variety of very conflicting emotions. The rational part of this argument makes a compelling statement: Clovis does have a point. The emotional, however, intends to hold him back. It reminds him that what has happened cannot simply be forgotten, and he has no business even trying to take his mind off of it until Franziska's death has been avenged.
It's when the rational side bites back with a strong rebuttal that his choice is made: even were he to find Franziska's killer this very moment, it would not make him any happier. Getting some rest and refreshing his mind, on the other hand, might improve his mood even if slightly.]
