The Ark wasn't made to let people like us win.

[ Clarke had accused Bellamy of taking that stance to garner support among the hundred, and that hadn't been entirely wrong. But Bellamy had believed everything he'd said. The Ark wasn't made to allow anyone to flourish who wasn't as privileged as Clarke had been. Murphy's memories swim through his mind, mingle with Bellamy's as he smooths the fabric into place over Murphy's hands. ]

At least here we have a fighting chance.

[ Which is different from everything else that had happened and likely was still happening on the ground in their absence. ]

It's better than being a janitor.

[ It's said a joke, but it masks the bigger, more terrifying prospect that Bellamy had lived day in and day out with: Octavia's trial, and the possibility that they'd float her. Being slowly crushed to death under the weight of the Ark's hierarchy paled beside the idea of watching his sister be sucked out of the airlock the way his mother had been. ]
