When I was... Theodore, I felt like I should stay away from you. From everyone. I felt like I should disappear from everyone's lives... like that would make everything easier. And maybe it would've.
I'm not saying that's why I did it, if that's what you're wondering. What I'm saying is... When I saw you land, and when I saw that officer - sorry, cultist coming after you...
I forgot about all of that. All I was thinking was... 'I couldn't let him hurt her'. And I guess that meant... taking it myself. It was like I remembered everything about you but didn't at the same time. [How important Teddy found her to be.]
