As long as Clarke succeeded, Octavia would make it through the endless wave of enslaved people clawing their way into the throne room of Polis.
Bellamy would like to think he's given up on any illusions that he could protect his sister. But Aurora's influence is strong. Bellamy wants to be there to watch over her, even if Octavia can't stand to look at him. Maybe in time, they could reconcile. Maybe if they'd reconciled before the battle and before Bellamy was chased into the waiting arms of the Nest he'd be less desperate to get back to her. ]

[ Right now, his focus rests on Octavia alone. But if Clarke weren't among them now, she would have been included alongside Octavia. ]
(Would you have been able to give up on her?)
[ Surely Clarke was something separate from all other things for Lexa. Bellamy couldn't understand how Clarke wasn't set apart. ]
