[ His reaction is instant. Whether it's because of the light brush against his mind, or the feel of Jesse's fingertips lightly brushing along his elbow, he realizes in a second that he's not alone in the room. He turns from the window, and instantly, all the air in his lungs rushes out of him at the sight of her.
Jesse?! But why is she here? She promised, and she wouldn't go back on her promise. I know she wouldn't. Is it Scratch? The Dark Presence? Are you screwing with me again?
His frame is tense, and there's fear in his eyes, not relief. Well, there's just the barest amount of relief, because Jesse in any iteration is home to him, and seeing her, even if it's not her, always calms him even when he's at his most agitated.
I don't understand how any of this is happening. Is this because of Door? Oh God, tell me she's not trapped here too. ]
Jesse? [ His voice is quiet, just as it was in the video of him that she saw. ] What- How... What are you doing here?
[ Is this something else I've made up because I wanted to see her so badly? Time isn't a thing here, but if it did and the clock that doesn't exist struck midnight, would she disappear? Will I blink and find that she never was here?
There's only one thing he can think of to do, and even that's not a guarantee that she won't just vanish into the ether, but he has to do something. He reaches for her with one hand, reaching out to wrap his fingers around her hand if she lets him. If she's real and doesn't disappear the second he touches her. ]
