BLAIR AND HOPE PREPARE TO TRANSFUSE HER BLOOD INTO SIMUBLAIR, but there appears to be unresolved tension in the room while they work. Hope lays on the bed with her left arm resting on the side for Blair.
"Ready?" Blair asks as she delicately grabs hopes wrist, pointing the needle near a vein. Hope just hums while she watches Blair Slowly insert the needle and start prepping the blood transfusion.
It was an awkward silence as Blair started to prep the other needle into simublair, who was currently unconscious.
"So..." Hope started as she moved up a bit against the headboard, "We're not gonna talk about how you walked away after we took down the Croatoan?" She continued and Blair stayed quiet for a couple of seconds,
"I didn't have much to say." Blair said as looked to see the transfusion working, and then it clogged, "Not after the bit I heard." She sighed out as she tapped the blood transfusion machine to get it going and this time hope sighed,
"If you would have stayed, I was going to explain everything to you— all of it." Hope said and Blair just hummed in response. Hope then turned to the unconscious simublair and said,
"Well she seemed to have plenty to say." she gestured to simublair, and the real Blair turned,
"She is my subconscious." She said as she checked the needle in simublairs arm, "And has no filter." she continued turning back to Hope and pointing a finger towards herself,
"I am a complex, evolved being last time I checked." She finished, then dropped her hand down to her side.
"Evolved people talk to one other." Hope said, and Blair sighed, "They don't just stalk off when things get complicated and something's left unsaid." Hope retorted, then sighed, "So why don't you stop avoiding me?" She asked in a much softer tone, Blair shook her head.
"I'm not avoiding you." She said and then gestured to them and the room, "We're literally in the same room." She continued and hope would've smiled— but didn't as of the current situation they're in.
"Oh, you know what I mean." Hope said and then looked at Blair, "Tell me how you feel." She continued and Blair badly wanted to tell her those three words and many other things but instead said,
"It's not about what I feel." Blair said and shook her head from all the overwhelming thoughts of what she really wanted to say, "It's about doing the right thing." She continued and Hope furrowed her brows saying,
