[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]

... 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.

[coppelganger]

It's more complicated than that.

[doubleblind]

Okay. Enlighten me.

[coppelganger]

I don't know how.

[doubleblind]

You don't know how to what?

[coppelganger]

To explain it, or... to act, maybe.

[doubleblind]

I know you'll figure it out. We all just need time to adjust.

[coppelganger]

Look, I know you think Helena should be figuring out her own shit, but she's been alone for such a long time, yeah?

[doubleblind]

The last thing I want her to feel is alone. But I also don't want her to feel trapped.

[coppelganger]

You think I make Helena feel trapped?

[doubleblind]

... I'm not sure. I think we have to be careful.

[coppelganger]

Maybe we should ask her.

[doubleblind]

Yeah. Yeah, that's a good idea.

[coppelganger]

I know you're trying to be honest, but I just can't see it that way.

[doubleblind]

... Okay. That's your choice.

[coppelganger]

Helena needs someone to spend time with her, not... let her go off on her own.

[doubleblind]

We all want to spend time with her. I wanna spend time with her but not like, every second of every day. That's not healthy for anyone.

[coppelganger]

Okay, can you please stop exaggerating?
