Transcript

Jennie: I've been thinking a lot about something Daniel said the other day, about going in a different direction. We all came to this house for a different reason, whether we were running from something or running to something. We all had our own baggage to deal with. The thing that united us, this desire to find answers and seek revenge, it's disappearing. And it's not that we all want to be broken apart, it's just... (Jennie sighs) I knew I should have thought about this more before I started. It's just... I think that we're all beginning to realize that friendship and love based on fear and revenge can't be sustained. Maybe Daniel and Sarah, maybe their feelings are strong enough, they can make it work this time, I don't know. Jonas, he's so... It's stupid talking about this in the third person. I know you're gonna see this. Jonas, I understand that you have a mission, that you are meant to do this and I'm proud of you for accepting your calling. The thing is, it's not my calling. And I'm upset about the way things ended, but it's for the best. I'm not trying to rein you in or change you. I know you, Jonas and it's your late night pacing and our early morning talks, your intensity, that made me fall in love with you in the first place. And that's why it's hard to say goodbye. 'Cause I get you. You got in here somehow, (points to her chest) into my heart, and it hurts to let you go. (wipes a tear away) And we're going in different directions, and we can't ignore that, even though it would be easier. It would make things worse because it would just drag on and on, and we'd end up hating each other, and I don't want that. (softly) I don't want that. It's just with you gone again, there's no real reason for me to stick around, you know? And Emma set a pretty good example so I've been thinking and... I'm going to leave tomorrow. And work on my grad school applications. We all have a path to follow, I wish ours were the same, I really do.

Notes

• This is the third time the track "After The Shock" by "Safe Home" has been used in an LG15 video. The first time was in Emma's video: Can’t Sleep. Wanna chat?, and the second time was in a video by Sarah: Share My Sleeping Bag, which took place after her temporary conversion to the Hymn of One.
