[ The Precursors caught them by surprise. They won't let that happen again.
As to the assumption, though, Finn shrugs. ] But... yes and no. I wanted to know why. He's my friend, but I also understand where you're coming from.
[ Nothing about this conversation is casual or remotely as light as their moments together in the past. Which is what Finn hates about all of this. He breathes and... allows the tension to leave him, even for just a moment, deciding to take this in another direction. ]
You're... not as alone as you think you are. You're not the only one who had someone get hurt, and you're not the only one who would... go to extremes to make sure it doesn't happen again. To make sure worse doesn't happen.
But Newton's not the enemy. He never wanted to hurt anyone, I really believe that. We should at least try to save him, if for no other reason than because he would do the same for us.
And if we can't save him or if these things try to hurt someone again, then... we'll deal with it. Your way. Together. I'll help you, if it comes to it.
