Move on or Never get Home

Kahn looks at me with very pleading eyes.
Kahn: Well, I love you and I want you. Isn’t that enough for you to tell me the same.
Mei: No, it’s not.

None of us say anything for a minute. I look up and see a clouds forming and start to worry. Then I look at Kahn who is looking at the ground, thinking. He finally looks at me again.

Kahn: Man, you must hate me so much after what I did to you. Maybe if I hadn’t been so pushy I would have you. What happens now?
Me: You move on.
Kahn: I don’t think I ever can. You are the one for me Demi, and I just didn’t treat you right. I can change.

I give him an odd look. Me, trust Kahn? Can he really change? I look a Mike who shakes his head. Thanks.

Me: You can’t change, you are who you are. If we don’t stop this we may never make it off this island.

I start to walk towards the plane and Mike follows. Kahn treads slowly behind with his head down in shame.
