I don't know about that. You've made it clear that you think you know more than Rey. Maybe you weren't trying to do that. But you did. [This is the first time that Keith has felt like he's hitting a point where he's lecturing. There isn't a challenge to his voice, however; it feels like there's a weird dichotomy going on, between what Rey feels she doesn't know and what belief she's acting on all the same. Does one feed into the other? He doesn't know.]

She might agree. I dunno. She does believe in you. I just ... [Keith doesn't know what the right answer is here. He was inclined to follow Rey's belief, but it's hard to do something when the person believed in doesn't believe in that themselves. It's something he knows first hand. It's something he's not going to share.

There is no "I just" to continue. He doesn't know where to go, so he falls on the following, deeply unsatisfying words.]


Just—understand what it is she's doing to help you. And you and I—we're teammates.
