💬 !!!
Quinn stares at his phone screen until it times out and goes black, and he blinks, only to find that he's crying.
Ma and Pa. He misses them so much, has missed them so much ever since he landed in the past. He wishes that he could see them again so badly, but there's no time. Not when Emmet's in Octan and his parents are so far away in Cloud Cuckooland.
He hopes they don't hear about how he goes. He wanted to save them from having to deal with a dead son, but now, he's just going to do it again. Maybe if they don't hear what happens to him, they can think that he went back to his own timeline, his own world. Maybe that wouldn't be so bad for them.
He twines and untwines his fingers nervously. He has to do the right thing.
That's what B would do, back before Business broke him and beat him down and down and down until he couldn't be put back together the same way again.
Quinn...he doesn't know what the right thing is. He never has, not the way that Bad Cop could intuitively feel it. Bad Cop was his conscience for so many years, but he's gone now. Quinn has to decide what's right and wrong for himself.
He can't save the world. He can't save everybody.
He has to make sacrifices. He knows that.
He has to go to Octan and face what's waiting there, and he has to do it because there's so many lives, so many futures riding on it, and because it's the right thing to do.
He puts his face in his hands and tries to breathe.
Oh, god, he hopes this is the right thing to do.
