My only concern about your quesion is whether you are asking for yourself, or your H? You know by not to try to second guess the alien or to do things in hope of certain reactions.
If you are saying that you will just not expend any energy to help him file, fine. It will be his D. He will probably screw it up and you will have to finally pay a L to make sure you are treated properly. All this will likely exude anger from him. That is not the kind of reaction you may be thinking about right now, but it is most likely.
If you decide to toss in the towel and help him burn Rome as friends, he will be less angry and may treat you as a friend. It is their mlc bait. It is recommended by some IC. But they don't get to vote in your D, if H files. This will be up to you to decide and live with. If he does go down anger road, let him go alone. One day ... he will get tired of wasting that energy on others and start working on himself.
