Dr. Ratio broke away from his philosophy of self-reliance to give Aventurine the scroll bc he was in love with him: Boring, amatonormative, flat
Consider: Dr. Ratio did only see Aventurine as an eccentric colleague he was fond of, but he still broke away from his philosophy bc his empathy is his fatal flaw. It does not matter how much you mean to Dr. Ratio personally, as long as you mean something he will forgo all his logical frameworks, and thus the values of Nous, to save you, which is how his love for humanity prevented him from joining the Genius Society.
