There is one wrong answer and it's the answer Fiddleford knows he has to give. To do anything else would make him a massive hypocrite, more of one than he already always feels like, and he can't do it. He knows he physically cannot look at his husband and lie.
"I want to give it back to her. I thought about puttin' it right into that way out I've been toolin' around with, but it's nowhere near ready and I think... I don't think she'd like that. I think we should work with her, not against her, because if she's the one that brings us here then she's the one who can send us back. We can't fight her in a way that sticks. If we kill her maybe a way out of here dies with her, too. Maybe it's time to hope she really means it when she says she wants to do right by us, because I think the problem isn't that she won't do it, it's that no one's ever really got through to her why she should."
i apologize for IMMEDIATELY tagging it back but. yknow
