I asked about what you wanted, not what you needed.

[turbulency]

[ Gives her a confused look. ]

Is that important?

[allomantic]

Yes.

[easily]

[turbulency]

[ He thinks about it, and it's not easy to find an answer. ]

I just want to be free.

[allomantic]

...We'll make sure you are, then, in the end.

[turbulency]

...

You're not responsible for everyone here, you know.

[allomantic]

I know. I said we, not just me.

[turbulency]

Alright, I just want to make sure you know it.

What do you want, in the end?

[allomantic]

[thinking about it, in turn]

...I don't care what happens to me. I just don't want to be left behind. But I know that's - unrealistic.

[turbulency]

Why would you be left behind?

[allomantic]

...If I had to watch more people I cared about die.

[turbulency]

[ STRANGLES ]

So you want to join that side, you mean?

[allomantic]

[hesitating, for a moment.]

...I have a partner. So it's not just about what I want.

[turbulency]

If they're your partner, then they'll be willing to work something out with you.

[allomantic]

I don't know what there is to work out. If I die, they'll die, and - they don't deserve that. I don't want them to, besides.

[turbulency]

They could re-partner. There are people still looking.

[allomantic]

They're not going to want to do that.

[turbulency]

[ hm ]

Then it sounds like there's a discussion you need to have with them. It's not easy to let someone die because of you, even if dying works a little differently here.

But it might be what we need to do anyway.
