LOCKE
For all the neutrality of his expression, inside he's screaming. He's not sure if he's hurt or angry or both or neither. Maybe scared? He's not about to sit down and untangle these emotions. He doesn't like them so he's just going to ignore them. Except every action he takes is laced with them. "You said it yourself. Sunjata needs someone's help. I'm sure Hotaru does too. Seren. Give it to one of them." Anyone but him.
He stands up, too quickly, the chair scraping loudly against the floor. She can't leave him if he leaves first, right? Can't reject him if he rejects her first. He drums his fingers on the table for a second, the only real proof he's got something else going on in his head before he steps away. "Look, I think.. You should go. I don't think this is working out." He does love her. So much. Too much. But he knows if she doesn't leave now, he's going to beg her to stay. And if she stays, he'll only hurt her worse. She can do so much better than him and she deserves so much better than him. If that means he has to be the bad guy, then so be it. He'll be the bad guy.

I wanna make up my mind
But I don't know myself
But I don't know myself
