[It'll upset Sam. But doing the right thing is often pretty fucking upsetting. He hurt Lila intensely when he decided to stay here, not to mention all the people he didn't get to say goodbye to in person, but he still knows that's the right thing. If this is Daneca's right thing, then whatever. Sam'll recover.]

[Besides which, not his business. He got in between them before, in between Daneca and what she wanted specifically, and he sure as hell isn't making that mistake again.]

Nah. You can't make yourself love somebody, you can't stop yourself from loving somebody. You can't . . . make yourself be with somebody you don't love just because it'd make it easier on them. That's no way to live.

You gotta do what's right for you, not - anybody else. Not me or Sam or your mom or whoever.

[That's why he won't tell her she shouldn't make the deal she's made. If it's right for her - then it's right for her. That's just how it is.]
