As the thing that was once Josh charges towards them, Hiccup jumps in front of Merton, pushes him back, and takes up a protective stance in front of him. Toothless does the same for Hiccup himself.
Thankfully it turns out to be unnecessary. Josh can't reach them. Hiccup breathes a sigh of relief.
"Josh, please. Do you remember anything, besides this? Your mothers. They adopted you."
Hiccup pulls out the photo he'd retrieved, showing to him. Eyes or no eyes Josh can still somehow perceive things.
"See?" He hopes they can somehow bring Josh even a little bit back to himself. If they can't, Hiccup knows deep in his heart what he might have to do and absolutely under no circumstances is it a thing he wants to happen.
