[ even if she's failed at restraint so far, she manages to show some when he describes his death as a unique problem. seems like a lot more than that to her, when she's watching her future self trying to scrape up enough courage to say goodbye and leave him in the underworld. there are unique problems - and then there's death, and the two typically can't overlap. Emma opens her mouth to say as much, and closes it around the same time that she hears the two of them say they love each other.
she's been arguing against what he told her since he woke up, and it's not fair to either of them anymore. having someone she cares about who's up and out of stasis is supposed to be a good thing, but as much as it scared her to live in this world alone, the idea of getting used to him here only to lose him to death, or stasis, or some other ridiculous unknown is infinitely more frightening than being the only one awake. it probably doesn't surprise him that she's not taking all of this well, he knows her better than she'd like him to at the moment.]

[ she reaches for his hand to pull him away the memory, ducking her head to hide the fact that her other self isn't the only one who's trying not to fall apart right now. life in El Nysa has meant everything from rebuilding her entire existence to being tortured by unexpected enemies. there's never been time for her to react to all of this before, and now that she might have it? no - she doesn't want it. she's been trying too hard to keep it together to give in now.]
