I'm fine.
When you first woke up here, did you do what they asked of you?

Did I immediately meet my quota and go looking for someone to partner up with?
Of course not. I went looking for answers about this place. I tried to find a way home. Back to you.
I promise you I tried.

You're really asking me that by text?

Why not? There are only two possible answers.
Which one is it?

Hey, you don't have to convince me. Octavia's at least been honest about who she is and what she's capable of, okay? Other people seemingly get passes. I'm just going off of decisions you've already made-- in the future for you.

What if the only way you could be with Lincoln was by being here. Would you keep trying to leave?
The only way I can be with Lincoln is if I find a way home.
And the only way I can be with Emma is by staying here.
It's surviving back home. It's living when I'm with her.

Bell, I want you to be happy. I want you to have a life.
But all this place has done so far is put me into a role I don't want, and dress me up like something I'm not. I don't belong here.

I know. I never wanted this for you, even if it means we're together again.
You're not gonna be here forever. Neither am I. I'm not delusional. I'm just trying to hold on to what happiness I have here before everything falls to shit again back home.
My priorities might be different here but you're still one of them.

You deserve to be happy. You didn't do anything wrong, you met someone and fell in love.
[ Octavia would never hold that against him because she knows what that's like. he's just like her, falling in love with someone he's not supposed to be with.]
I'm going to try, just like you did. I have to.

You don't trust her, do you?
Do I trust her in the future?
Do I trust her in the future?
It’s not that I don’t trust her. I’ve seen what she’s capable of. The Octavia Blake from our time can take this place to its knees and not blink an eye at the bodies that lie in her wake.
Including yours.
If you want me to tell you more, I can. But what I know is we can’t let her become the person she has in the future.

It's not like I haven't seen her kill before. If she was okay with killing me, she would have done it a long time ago. [ Like after Lincoln was murdered. ]
Whatever she becomes is probably my fault. I can't do anything about the future but I can can be there for her now.

I'll help you.
I'll make the effort to try again.

No, you won't.
You've spent your whole life looking out for me. I can do this on my own.

Accepting help doesn't make you weak, O.

[ hey big brother, two can play at that game.]
I'm not going to let you risk losing what you have here just because I told you I want to go home.

It's not losing if the outcome is a happier version of what you are now.
