Summary
Robotnik comes to a profound realisation: he harbours deeper feelings for Stone than he ever anticipated.
In a misguided attempt to protect the agent long-term, he adopts a harsh demeanour reminiscent of who he was before Stone softened his edges. He believes that by forcing Stone away through harsh treatment, he is ultimately acting in the agent's best interest.
If Stone stayed, he would either die protecting the Doctor, or perhaps Robotnik's rage would go too far one day. A punch too close to a temple. A wrench thrown just too high.
He thinks that if he can be cruel enough, Stone will be compelled to abandon their alliance for a more stable path - A hurt Stone that hated him was better than a dead Stone that adored him.
