The 100

After less than a week on Earth, Wells can see the hunger in the eyes of the other kids, and he fears what will happen when they run out of food. As they sit around the campfire one night, the peaceful ambience is interrupted by a noise from the trees, and Bellamy enters the clearing, carrying a dead two-headed deer. Wells offers Bellamy heartfelt thanks and then walks away as Bellamy and Clarke inspect the animal. Seeing them together makes Wells remember a day when he was training to be a guard and helped to arrest a woman who violated the unplanned-child rule of the Gaia Doctrine. He had gleaned comfort after the experience by holding Clarke that night, and he hates how far away she feels now.

The deer meat is like nothing Wells has ever tasted, and it leaves him feeling satisfied in a way that food never has. A while later, the kids notice glowing butterflies in the trees. The insects make Wells think of Clarke, and he finds her entranced by the sight. In that moment, he sees the girl she used to be and realizes that “he could make her love him again” (145).
