It's hard to tell, but there's one obvious thing going through his mind: if he keeps going, he's going to either hurt himself or hurt Katsuki to the point of no return, and that's the last thing he wants to do. Even here, with his heart half-broken and his body yearning for something to truly exhaust him, the last thing he wants to do is hurt his friend, to do any kind of damage that might be difficult to undo.
Instead, he slumps back, flops onto his ass, and then collapses, starfish style, onto the mats below him, closing his eyes and nodding his head.
