[madi isn't sure what she expected as a response for this situation to suddenly make sense but her eyes widen in complete surprise hearing clarke answer her question. she was so convinced that something else had happened, that clarke was experiencing temporary memory loss because of something someone had done to her and that there was some other more logic explanation behind all this but she was coming up empty thinking having any of this make sense to her.

there was no part of this that seemed like it was remotely possible yet it was undeniable in a way between the fresh burn marks from the radiation poisoning to seeing clarke's hair being a little longer much how it had been in the early years before she decided to cut it shorter. it hits her suddenly how she really is just nobody to clarke right now. she was somehow brought here from a time before they even met and knowing that makes her feel even more alone for the first time again in a long time]

Oh— [she doesn't know what to say at first as she struggles to find her words to express herself because what do you even do when your most important person in the world sees you as a stranger? she really wasn't sure how to navigate this or what this meant for the two of them going forward either] You didn't die, just so you know. You survived the same as I did because of your Nightblood.

[she hesitates for a moment, feeling a bit uncertain of herself before does continue in hopes that it'll help clarke understand a little better] We didn't meet right away. It was almost two months later that we found each other and learned we weren't completely alone on the planet.
