Talk:Clarke and Lexa/@comment-26164766-20160207171818/@comment-25176701-20160217202530

^Those were two entirely different situations.

Finn was going to be tortured to death if Clarke didn't kill him. He would have died regardless of Clarke's decision. She killed him so he wouldn't have to suffer a painful death, so she worked up the courage to save him from that death.

Lexa wasn't going to die if Clarke didn't kill her. If Clarke killed her, she wouldn't have saved Lexa from anything like she did with Finn.

Also, I think part of the reason for her not wanting to kill Lexa has to do with what you said, about her not wanting to be a killer anymore. It's just that another part of it had to do with love, and it's not that big of deal that she pulled back because she still had romantic feelings for Lexa.
