[He reaches up, trying to guide Billy's hand away from his face. He can't help but feel hurt, to feel a bit angry if he's honest, and the least Billy could do is look at him properly.]
Don't give me that. It's you who saves everyone... that's you who stops Mother, right? It's not safer to hide out here so afraid of yourself that you turn your back on that future, Billy. It's the easy way out and it's too painful to watch you be that afraid of yourself and not be able to do anything.
[And it feels like he's not terribly important to Billy if he can turn his back on going back like that, no matter what they might face together.]
I think I need to go, Billy. I have missing kids to help find... and I can't really do this right now. I don't see how we get back together when you don't even seem to care enough to go back and fight for us.
[But he can't stroke Billy's hair and tell him it's going to be okay this time. Not when it doesn't feel okay at all at the moment and Teddy isn't sure it will be.]

I'm sorry...
