It's true, there was a hopeful side of him that thought maybe they'd just accept what he had to say at face value. Aside from his word, there's not a whole lot he can do to prove to them that he knows better. If he tries, really tries, he can maybe put himself in Allison's shoes. See what she values most. She's the one who had more of a go at it than any of them, so she might have forgotten. As much as he'd like to tell her she can be with her daughter, she's a part of this family too.

Is it because of him? Five vividly remembers seeing her there in the rubble, with all of them, so she obviously stuck around the last time. Now that he's told her what's coming, she wants to take the first plane out. He frowns and shakes his head, then heaves a heavier sigh. Back to business.

"I know he loses an eye in the next few days. And I know he'll be near here when it happens. Or she, I suppose." As for what they can do in the meantime, he doesn't have a good answer, and it's hard not to let that frustration turn to anger. To tell her she should go if that's what she wants, then teleport away before she can say a word in response.

"Just... give me time. I came back because of this. Do you even know what that took?"
