Evan sighed gratefully. "Thank you."

Zoe headed outside. The two walked to the orchard nearby in silence, until she spoke. "Explain yourself. Why… did you do it? All of it?"

(just about, yeah. Also I guess I'm not leaving yet)
Jordan held the door open for Lillian and they both left, walking down the sidewalk and letting Zoe and Evan resolve everything.

He shook his head. "It just… I had this image of him in my head. A good Connor. And he told me that if he didn't disappear, I'd be noticed. And that's all I wanted."

Zoe scoffed bitterly. "Yeah… well, did you want to hurt Alana? Make us all wonder as to where you disappeared? Jared got the hanahaki disease. Because of you," (How about in this world, hanahaki disease can only be caused by unrequited love for a plant user? And sorry, I'm a sucker for unrequited Kleinsen)

He huffed. "I thought it'd make you happier to think of him that way," he said softly.

Zoe stood quiet for a minute. "It did," she admitted. "It helped me to think of my brother as this kid who made friends with a known depressed shy outcast, who thought the world of me but couldn't bring himself to tell me so… but somewhere, in the back of my mind, was that nagging thought of, maybe, I just saw what I wanted to see,"

He took her hand and rubbed his thumb gently in circles around the back of her hand. "I know that right now we're a million worlds apart." he looked into her eyes. "But if you can somehow forgive me?"

Zoe removed her hand. "Maybe. I… can't pretend anything happened. You still pretended my brother was your friend, lied to Alana and my family, and ended up funding a massive project… all for nothing. You're a good guy, Evan. I know that. I can forgive… I can't forget," She walked to her car (shit let's just pretend they drove here) and opened the door. "Get in. There's more people you have to apologize to, starting with a certain Jared Kleinman,"

"He won't talk to me."

"Yeah, no shit, Sherlock," Zoe snorted bitterly. "Just… talk things out with him. Please," she added, softer. "The disease is killing him inside… he needs help. I'm not telling you to fall in love with him, I'm just saying that you need to support and be there for him where you weren't before," She closed the door, and they drove in silence to Jared's house. (does someone else want to be jared?)
