"Now I have a chance to figure it out." In a way that he never really had before. He had followed along in the direction that life and his choices took him, but now he's got a new direction to find. One that he wants to find on his own instead of doing what others expect of him.
There's more, too, and he feels like he owes her at least that much of an explanation. "There's a house in Poland that was occupied by people who were pretending to be no different from any of their neighbors." He was the one who had had to pretend the most, of course, but Magda had had to do plenty of pretending of her own, acting like she wasn't married to an international fugitive, and they're all lucky that Nina hadn't lost control of her powers in sight of others sooner than she had.
"They were more than victims of an unfortunate circumstance, and they deserve to have someone remember that. I can't let strangers dig through that house." He needs to rescue what's left of Magda and Nina, even of Henryk, before it's misinterpreted or turned into something garish and cheap.
