[This is where she's struggling—she's never been one to hesitate when she really believes in something, for better or for worse. She's a lot like Ren in that way. And after the Aerie, she's only more determined to push at the things she considers injustices in this world. Getting yelled at on the network sucks, sure, but in her mind it's become clear that none of them will ever get a consensus on anything. Best to find the people who agree with you and want to work with you, and focus on them.

But maybe part of it is that she's never viewed any of Clarke's brusqueness or disagreements as personal. In fact, they always seem very impersonal. Clarke will call anyone out, even if they're friends. She just doesn't mince words. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Clarke comes from a world that Kyna has come to understand through hints and offhand comments as awful, even if she doesn't know the details. Worrying about people's feelings just isn't Clarke's first priority for things like this.

Again, she's quiet for a moment, mulling it over. It's hard because while she gets that he's struggling, and she gets that the network can be annoying, she really doesn't see any of this as people disagreeing with him, but disagreeing with the way he went about it with the new arrivals, and she's not sure he wants to hear that.]


I think you should just do it. Ask people for help, and try to get people to brainstorm. Or if you're not up to posting to the network, ask someone you trust to do it. And if you think everyone is dealing with too much else to fix the safehouse... I don't know.

[Either he wants it done as quickly as possible and he asks for help, or he accepts that it needs to wait and stops getting upset that it isn't being solved quickly. Right now, it seems like he's just forcing himself into a cycle of misery.]
