a very human, emotional part of her insists it wasn't worth it. but they've both got horrifically unhealthy methods of compartmentalization, mizuki just bases his on love and cheer while clarke leans towards desperation and a need for power. come tomorrow, or at most within the next few days, there's a very good chance this entire conflict can be swallowed and never discussed at length again. and for now... mizuki can wreck his room, and clarke can wipe a few errant tears that have collected under her chin, and shelf her phone before putting her face in her hands.
when she'd railed against interpersonal friendships and relationships to stede bonnet, it'd been entirely on the basis that the captain might use those connections to force them to hurt each other at some point on this journey. and now she's reminded once again, that he doesn't have to — they'll all going to do an exceptional job of it by themselves. )
