Since Clarke failed the test, she was not granted transcendence.
But everyone decided to stay back with Clarke anyway because she was family.
And you don't leave family behind.
After everyone met up again, Raven walked over to Octavia.
"Hey." Raven greeted.
"Hi." Octavia stood from her spot by the fire. She and Raven haven't talked since after the battle at Shallow Valley.
"I heard what you said on the field." Raven began and Octavia's eyebrows furrowed, not remembering seeing Raven there. "I saw it during the test." Octavia nodded. "I appreciate what you said."
"I'm so sorry. I'm the reason she died. I forced her into that arena. I didn't think she would die, I was just trying to-" Octavia rambled.
"It's okay. She...She would be really proud of you." Raven hugged Octavia.
"I am." A voice said and Octavia looked up to see Robin standing there with a smile on her face.
"She really loved you." Raven added.
"I still do." Robin smiled.
"She really loves you, too." Octavia told Raven, using the present tense.
"Also true." Robin nodded before disappearing for the final time.
Robin was finally at peace knowing everyone else was, too.
