It's not strange. [Not just because he's alive. There are other situations like hers: where what they could go back to is much worse. Clarke just refuses to stay here without her people, but she knows she wants her people here, not there. Take them away. Take them somewhere safe. Give them a real chance to start over again.
She knows the Displaced would welcome her people. They've welcomed her, and she's told them enough about herself.]
When I first got here, I hadn't even met my daughter yet. It happened right after I ... "got back," so to speak. But when I first showed up, I thought I was due to spend six years alone, and that's not counting whether I'd even see my people again. I didn't know that I would. I knew I wanted to stay then. That was selfish. [She knows that now.] But I've learned that I'm not the only one. It's not just about us, it's about what we could return to, and who we were before.
[They can be better. Do better. Not be limited in the same way.]
You'd be surprised how much you're not alone in that. In a lot of ways. You'll see.
