In Assassin’s Fate, why didn’t Fitz actually…

…fully merge with the Fool while he was healing him?

I didn’t quite understand this. They end up there anyway. Why wouldn’t Fitz want to >! merge with the Fool into one being so that they could raise Bee and she wouldn’t fully lose her father? Why wouldn’t that be better than him dying in an underground tunnel? Not perfect, but still. I cannot imagine that the Fool wouldn’t agree to it.
Was it because he couldn’t really “consent” to that as he was asleep? Or because Nighteyes wouldn’t go with him? It just seemed a bit odd to me. Especially as the three of them end up merging anyway. I guess it was the remnant of the Old Blood abominations where one being takes over the other. But it still seemed silly as the rest of their arc was about how the Fool, Nighteyes, and Fitz were “one thing.” If they truly were why could they only be so in a stone wolf rather than in the Fool’s body. <
