[ Alan's mind is already off and running with ideas. Possibilities. He reached this version of Jesse. Maybe he can reach himself in this reality or timeline or whatever the hell it is too. It seems to him that he needs a nudge in the right direction, and who better to give it but him? He doesn't mean that to sound as arrogant as it probably sounds, but from where he's standing, this Jesse and this version of himself need a hand. He'll have to see what he can do about that.
There's a part of him that wishes he were physically present so that he could offer Jesse a hug, but that's impossible as there's a large gulf between them, and he can't cross over it to reach her. But he can at least put the idea out there. ]
If I was with you right now, you know what I'd do? I'd give you the biggest hug I could manage, because something tells me you need it.
[ She's different from the Jesse I know... not different in a bad way, but- she shows her emotions more. She's not as controlled yet. Maybe Jesse's too controlled. But it was a survival mechanism, wasn't it? She became like that because she needed to. And I think it's served her well, for the most part. It's not walling herself off just because; I've seen her let her walls down, so I know this part of her is still inside somewhere. ]
I know what you meant, and you're right. She hasn't let me go just because we're not in the same place right now. I can still feel her with me, and I hope she can feel me with her too.
[ He pauses, debating with himself about whether or not he should say what else is on his mind. He doesn't have anything to lose, other than upsetting her and acusing her to end the connection. Maybe it's not his place to say anything. ]
If I give you some... advice, I guess, and it's a little to the point, would you mind?
[ He doesn't want to dump this on her if she doesn't want to hear it. And he wouldn't blame her for not wanting to. In a way, it feels like overstepping on his part. ]
Either way, whatever you decide, you should know that I'm sure you're too important for him to let go of also.
