Intellectually I know that, but it's hard to remember sometimes. Maybe part of it is knowing that Scott is usually one of the sensible ones. There's a reason I hardly even thought about going straight back to Utopia as soon as I knew the Phoenix was coming. I wanted him to know the right thing to do. But with the amount of energy I put into managing my emotions already, if I'd been given part of the Phoenix I likely would have done something just as bad or worse. Maybe something that couldn't be undone.
I do remember the good, though. I remember what both of us were doing in Africa, reversing the damage that people have done there, turning the deserts back into fertile lands. I only wish things could have stopped there.
