[ Define-the-relationship talks are definitely dangerous territory, especially where they are now. Sure there are risks of losing someone back home, but there are even greater ones here where someone you care deeply about could disappear back to their world and never return, like the relationship you built never happened, like you never existed to them. ]
I don't necessarily think you need to define it for it to be important. [ He has a lot of relationships like that, where they demonstrate with actions because there aren't a lot of quiet moments to talk about it. ]
No. He isn't. [ And therein lies the difficulty of this, whatever it is between them — regardless of what they have here, sooner or later they're going to have to give it up. She'd believed that moment had come sooner rather than later after the fort, but it turned out Frank's disappearance had only been temporary. Still, she's had to wake up to the loss of so many friends since she showed up here, and she's not about to kid herself that the same couldn't happen to either one of them. The real kicker is that going back means forgetting everything, this place and everyone in it, forgetting what she has.
But rather than it leading her to push her friends away, she's focused on clinging to them even harder, to making the time she has with them count before she has to leave it behind. ]
And I think you get why that's got its own special set of issues attached to it. [ Because of Emma, and what she clearly means to him. ]
