[It's funny, leave him alone. What isn't funny is what Carlos says after that. The grin and flirtatious undertones immediately fade and he turns his head away.]

...some regrets would be bigger than others. [He didn't spend a year traumatizing himself and hunting her down just to idly sit by and wait for someone else to figure out how to free them.] I already told you I don't have her ring anymore. When I woke up, it was gone. The me that was already here didn't have it for some reason, but I'm not going to let this be another timeline I don't get her back.

[...] She slipped right out of my hands again, and if I don't do everything I can to try and get back to her, that would be my biggest regret. [He looks at him again.] And like I said, it's you. [He keeps saying that without explaining what that means, but if Carlos isn't asking then cool, he doesn't have to explain.]

Just because you're older than me doesn't mean I can't take the lead.
