"And that whole scene with Michael Burnham really resonated in the sense that it was two people coming full circle and understanding that 'I love you for who you are and not who you want me to be and I believe in you.'

And when she went through the portal that time, for me, it's like saying 'au revoir', because 'I'm in Paris', no, I'm kidding, but it's like 'Goodbye, until we meet again.' Because this is Star Trek, who knows, one day Emperor Georgiou is gonna find out that Michael Burnham is in a dire state or the other way around and something has to be done."
