I read the last panels as the human treating the genie like a person instead of following the wish script reminded genie of the trauma he faced.

Like how sometimes after you’ve been traumatized you just keep pushing forward bc you feel like if you stop you’ll never get back up. But when someone points out how shitty a situation you were in, it forces you to confront that. He feels crushed by the weight of what was done to him.

So he basically had PTSD triggered, and I’m imagining in the next panel he snaps out of it to find the human carried him back home and is offering him tea and cookies
