Mercedes didn't have the answers. She hadn't been on the island for very long and there was still a large piece of her convinced this was all some weird dream she was going to wake up from. She just knew she didn't want to wake up because that would mean she was back in reality where Blaine had just committed suicide and Kurt had been dead for five years. That wasn't a reality she wanted to go back to. The bigger part of her was happy to be here on the island forever where Kurt was alive and breathing. But the big question mark over whether Blaine would come here or not and from when he would come, but maybe that was all the lesser of two evils? "But... back there, it's worse. I know it's probably easy to get all angry 'bout the fact Blaine ain't here, but... back there? They're both gone, and the world ain't a very nice place no more. Maybe the island doesn't bring you people you need, maybe it just brings you to the people you need at the time you need them most? He's got his life here, which he ain't got back home and won't ever get back at home."

She shook her head. "Probably not. Lasting as long as he has without Blaine is probably a feat in itself. Blaine didn't last out back home. They gotta be together, they don't work without each other. If Kurt wants to sabotage his second chance here 'cause it's too painful to live without Blaine, it probably ain't something we can stop. Maybe now I ruined it all telling him Blaine ain't made it back home, I crushed his hope. I think you were right now telling him. I just dunno if I can sit back and watch him die all over again. I ain't ever managed to deal with it the first time."
