(Klaus stutters)

Klaus: Old Klaus might have been down for some recreational hara-kiri, but it turns out that I'm really not into killing myself, so, uh, count me out. 

Five: Actually, it's not killing ourselves. It's worse than that. We'll be erased from history. 

Diego: Okay, what about the other timelines?

Y/n: They will also be erased. They will never have existed. None of us will. No one will have any memory of this... or us. 

(The room goes silent once again as the last words Y/n said sunk in. Allison looked like she was about to cry to Y/n took a step towars the couch she was laying on and put a comforting hand on top of her hand that rested on the top of the couch. Allison gave a thankful, and sad smiled, appreciating her sister trying to comfort her.)

Luther: Does anyone else not like this plan?

(Luther raised his hand, then Klaus raised his hand in response.)

Y/n: Trust me Luther, I don't like it either, but it's all we have left. If we try and fight it, the world will keep ending, over and over again. We can't keep running. 

Diego: If we cease to exist, what happens to our families? 

Five: I'm not sure.

Lila: Wait. No, I... I don't like where this is going, Five. 

Allison: Come on, Y/n. (she starts to sit up but Y/n sees she's struggling so she goes to help her.) There has to be another way.

Five: There isn't. 

Y/n: We've tried everything else, either in our lives or in other timelines and nothing ever worked. The timeline won't stop trying to fix itself until it succeeds and it will only succeed when we are out of it. 

(Allison starts hyperventilating and Y/n sits next to her, and puts an arm around her while Klaus puts a hand on her shoulder.)

Klaus: Take it easy, all right?
