[Alright so after seeing that the beach is not where Clarke is, Lance wanders away from Mitsuru and Nine to try and find her. On some level, he knows it must've been her who was murdered this week, but he doesn't want to believe it. Clarke's a survivor -- even the hippies thought so, damn it -- and none of this can seriously be happening.
Eventually though, he does find her.... and it's not at all what he hoped to see. He says nothing while the others wrap up their investigation and waits silently until they're done with their examination. He drops to the ground beside her body unable to do anything but stare blankly until his vision starts to blur.]
You've been through so much... I can't believe....
[... that this of all things is what took her life. That she had to die in such an awful place and meet such an awful fate as one of those rock zombies. As a friend, he can't let that happen to her. He wipes his face, then as carefully as he can, he picks her up and carries her to the beach to cremate her. He'd do that on the grass if the people that gave him his fire powers also gave him the ability to put his fires out, but... that's a different story.
Once he's there, he sets Clarke down and closes her eyes.]
Sorry. I really hope this works....
[He takes several paces back, takes a deep breath and concentrates on starting a fire.]
