[it's time to stop being an avoidant tit and actually talk with cosima, so sarah waits until she's pretty sure cosima is alone in her lab before going down there and knocking on the door]

[looking pretty surprised to see her]

Hey. What's up? Something wrong?

[coppelganger]

No. I just thought...

[shrugs]

[doubleblind]

Well, the chill zone's all yours while I finish this up.

[coppelganger]

[not moving]

What are you working on?

[doubleblind]

I'm working on sequencing my full genome, using yours as a reference.

[coppelganger]

Oh. I can come back.

[doubleblind]

I can pause this. What's up?

[coppelganger]

... I miss you.

[ :( ]

[doubleblind]

Oh. Okay. That's... Not what I was expecting? Uh, in a good way.

I've missed you too, man.

[coppelganger]

I don't want us to stay pissed off with each other.

[doubleblind]

Neither do I. It's... I kinda hate it.

[coppelganger]

Yeah.

[doubleblind]

[she sighs and abandons her experiment to go sit on the couch]

... Look, I'm sorry I got all weird.

[coppelganger]

[sitting next to her, leaning back against the arm of the couch]

I'm sorry I freaked out.

[doubleblind]

You were right. I was getting jealous.

And you know how hard it is for me to admit both those things.

[coppelganger]

I know.

[how hard do you think it was for her to come down here in the first place?]

[doubleblind]

So yeah, sorry. I know you and Helena have like, that connection. I should've respected that.

[coppelganger]

... Do you really think I'm being, like... overbearing and shit?

[doubleblind]

... Honestly?

[coppelganger]

[waiting]

[doubleblind]

A little. I know you're doing it to protect her or whatever, but I think it's best for Helena to figure out who she wants to be, with our guidance, obvs, but we need to let her make her own decisions.

[coppelganger]

[sighs and runs a hand through her hair]

Maybe.

[doubleblind]

You're scared?

[coppelganger]

Scared?

[doubleblind]

Scared of what'll happen if you let Helena do her own thing.
