This is very gripping! I haven't read your summary or background so that I can be swayed by the story as it comes.
Poor Frodo - the loss of the Ring plus the smacks he took seem to have loosened his perception of reality. Interesting view of Sam - this is another way for him to support Frodo without leading him to certain doom (will we ever know what Frodo did to him, I wonder?).
Instead Sam answers, "Now, Mr. Frodo, you know I don't mean anything against you. I'm only saying, we can be done with it now, and that doesn't have to be such a terrible thing."
It does have to be, Frodo knows; there is no possible way things can cease to be terrible now.
For some reason I LOVE the way you worded the way Frodo thought this...
