"How... how are you doing..." Are they both? Are all three of them both, now, somehow? Is that why he feels so awful, like two people and two people's worth of powers crammed into one, like his old differences are going to break him in two? Connor doesn't know the answers to how this is happening, but John is Pyro and Sophie is under the red and now he has to make a choice but he doesn't want to sacrifice either of them to themselves.

Sophie's question hangs in the air and Connor looks between the other two in the room, something in him knowing that If he traps Pyro here, if they fight over what he is, John will never forgive him. He reaches out for Sophie's shadow, pulling it down from the door. "There's no right thing. We have to figure this out... be careful. Please. I'll check in."

The latter is to Pyro, in the hopes that maybe he's not running away from them but rather trying not to hurt them or destroy their home. The hand he used to pull the shadow away reaches for Sophie, for help standing up in a world too sharp and bright.

"Try not to burn anything down?"
