[That's a good question. What does he have to lose? He has already lost all of his classmates and other friends. They have become like a distant memory. But he's not alone. Not when he still has his Dark Devas of Destruction and various other familiars! ...And some other humans who are pretty okay.
There's only two options. Listen to Junko, or be destroyed by his other self. So, there are only two options to face.
He continues looking at the despair-ridden version of himself, and he focuses his energies. Ignoring his fear, he thinks of Junko, he thinks of the Remnants of Despair. And he boils with anger.
Now, when he looks the other him in the eyes, it's with eyes full of rage.]
I RENOUNCE YOU!!
[As he shouts that out, he radiates heat that melts the ice away. In the light of that flame, the shadowy forms of the other Gundam and the various other animals dissolve into nothingness.]
[There's an audible sigh of relief from Junko when Gundam beats the wraith. Because if he's faced his fears and isn't getting killed by it in front of her, then she has little to worry about. So the spectral reaper she was worried about either dissipates as well, or if it's still there, she doesn't care quite as much now. Which means she can be obnoxious about things now.]
Hooray! You did it! Congratulations! I knew you could do it! You totally defeated your past and proved the haunted house's macabre powers are no match for your All Seeing Eye!
[No, that doesn't really work for her actually, so she'll settle back down almost immediately.]
Actually you know what, forget that. I'd normally continue and go on and on about this, but I think I'm going to get out of here before there's an encore.
[Gundam stands there, breathing heavily in the aftermath of that encounter with steam billowing around him. Being congratulated by Junko, with her acknowledging his power, happens to among the most disturbing things he's heard. It's just as sickening yo realize that he had reason to thank her (but he won't).
It's easier to home in on her final statements. He speaks without looking at her.]
That has to be the first wise thing you've said within the entirety of your meager human existence. Enoshima... From these unholy halls, I banish thee!!
[Maybe he should banish himself, too. As much as he'd like to get to the bottom of whatever's happening here, he feels the need to rest after that entire mess.]
All right, just this once. And it's not because your banishing spell actually worked or anything.
[After that slightly tsundere comment, she'll take her leave. She's definitely going to wonder about what the hell happened down here and give it a lot of thought, she just doesn't really want to be in the cellar while she does.]
