"And if love is a thing held in common, I suppose we had that in common, too, though I realize that might sound odd in light of the story I am about to tell.”

Maura watched her sculpture slip off the podium and fall to the ground, the horrible screech of rock against rock deafening her ears. She saw it catch itself with the hands she had carved for it. She heard it wretch and heave for something - air, a voice, to get something out. And then she saw it look up at her.

given jantje friese’s exquisite mind, i don’t think it’s too presumptuous to make leaps when it comes to the significance of things.

daniel’s surname being a prime example. solace.

there’s a point made in that second episode where he emphasises it by not saying first then surname, but rather having a beat or two in-between. it forces the audience to focus in on it compared to when maura introduces herself. (maura franklin rather than daniel - - solace)

and of all the surnames to choose, solace has to be the most apt for daniel as a character. solace meaning comfort and consolation. connotations of refuge, sanctuary, a safe haven. a light at the end of the tunnel. hope.

because that’s what daniel offers. yes he’s mysterious and dark and murderous, but for maura he is the epitome of safety. not only is he by her side and at her back quite literally every time she needs support, but several times he actively puts himself between her and danger. when tove lunges for her, daniel steps in front without hesitation, and then again when maura is protecting elliot and is almost shot, daniel jumps in front of a bullet to protect her.

i know there are so many theories already about whether or not daniel is even real, and what part he truly plays within the simulations. but no one can possibly doubt his love and sheer intense devotion for maura. he represents the purest and deepest form of love. entirely selfless, utterly consuming.

and it’s no wonder maura is drawn to him even though she doesn’t remember him. he is familiar to her, his presence triggers something within her, and it’s not too much of a stretch to think it goes back to that idea of solace. she recognises something within him which gives her hope and security. a feeling of home when all around her is in complete turmoil.

he is her solace. just like she is his.

Dear Jonas,

By the time you read this, everything will have happened irrevocably. It can no longer be changed. I would have liked to explain things to you sooner, but I hope once you understand how everything is connected, you will understand my decision.

The truth is a strange thing. You can try to suppress it, but it will always find its way back to the surface. We turn a lie into our truth in order to survive. We try to forget. Until we can’t anymore. We don’t know even half the mysteries of this world. We are wanderers in the darkness.

This is my truth. On Nov. 4th 2019 I traveled through time to the year 1986. The boy from the future stayed, and in time he became a man. Mikkel became Michael (Kahnwald), who never knew where he belonged.
