You loved her. [Quentin observes softly.] The kind of love that never goes away. [Quentin never loses love, not really. In some ways that can make trouble for him, because he's someone who can love multiple people at once, with all of his heart, and with all of the confusion that comes with. He's had to live without two of the great loves of his life, Alice and Ari, but it was Eliot's loss in this beautiful timeline that really broke him. It's a forever and beyond kind of love.
He nods to show that he has heard of those people, but that she doesn't need him to say as much, he just listens instead. He can absolutely see where she's coming from on that.]
I want my beloved to be happy. [Quentin smiles at her.] It's a storytelling trope, but honestly, it's just a human one. The idea that as long as someone you love is happy, you can be at peace, even if you can't be with them.[Arguabaly it's the sort of thing most people who have love in their hearts should feel, but humans aren't perfect and sometimes love can be very selfish.]
I'm active proof that the dead can stay on in these multiverse situations and find continued life and purpose. It sounds like she got lucky too. [That's how he sees this. Quentin may have been ready to die, but he doesn't want to be dead. He's lucky to be breathing.] I'm trying not to focus on the things I don't have, or that I can't have. [Like Julia, or answers, or any real closure.]
Who knows, if we manage to open up the multiverse and take your people here, who says we can't do it with the dead too? If I can do it, why wouldn't someone else?
