What makes her the exception? Cause you love her? Why wasn't it her time?
[ Nathan knows, and honestly he'd have done the same thing. But he's going to give Ned a hard time because this is a big deal. He might not see it that way, but it's as simple as choice, and every action changes the future. Some people should be dead. If you can go back and change it? Well--that's not the way the world works.
Or it shouldn't be. And then powers come in and fuck up the order of the universe. ]
[ It's heavyhearted. Nathan is conflicted. On one side he wants to berate him, because this - exactly this - is why people with powers need to be better policed in his world--
--and in another, he experienced Ned's point of view, his long lost love, his heartache. And he knows that if he'd felt the way Ned did - if he even could any more - felt that overwhelming intolerable need to not let go of a dream, then he'd probably do the same thing.
It was fortunate that he'd never felt like that, and probably never would. ]
I'm afraid so. But I'm not sorry that Chuck got to live while Mr. Schatz had to... die. He wasn't a very good man, and he stole things from dead people!
[ ned is very good at justifying his actions. clearly. ]

But you already know about Chuck. Still, she was... and is, an exception.
