( Quentin's still remarkably calm about all of it, honestly, but he doesn't know if it's numbness or he doesn't know how to react to any of it or if he really has already made it to acceptance. He's certainly keeping himself distracted which is helpful. )

Alice, my ex, she's a lot like Clarke that way. She puts a lot of pressure on herself to have all the answers and get it all right.
