I needed to slow her down. She's a lot stronger than me, and she had one of those parasites in her head. [It's not the first time that Clarke has had to use her ability on Rey. She's seen Rey's strength in action when it had been more conscious. When it was something else controlling her and eradicating any of her thought? There was zero chance of her coming out of that as any sort of victor. She was bestial in nature. Focused.
And Clarke wouldn't hurt Rey, not after how long they'd been here together. No matter what friction they could have on and off.]
I knew there was a risk, but I couldn't let her live with what that thing would make her do.
[Because she knows about Rey's idealism and hope, and the way she views the world as if it can be black or white. She couldn't do that to her, and she could already see her taking a dark turn thanks to her relationship with Catra.]
