[ Do they truly need a nudge? They've only known each other for a day and a half. Maybe this is all just in their heads. Some sort of echo or imprint from some other place trying to overlap onto them. Maybe it doesn't belong and that's why it all feels impossibly hard to even consider there could be more. It might just not be how their reality is meant to be.

That's wrong.

All of it feels wrong. Just like the rest of the world does. What feels right is Polaris, whats happening in Bright Falls and back in Ordinary, even talking with another version of Alan on the phone. They're all connected and feel connected. Jesse wouldn't phrase it as "soul mates" or something as corny as a romance novel. She would say there's some sort of strong connection. Some sort of gravitational pull that her defensive walls are trying to block.

« It has to be that. How else would another version of him call us...? »

Polaris shifts and perhaps even Alan can feel it over the call. ]

I'll be fine. I'm fine. [ She pauses to try and brush the tears off with her sleeve. ] ...thanks, though.

[ « It means a lot. »

Jesse swallows again. ] I'm not--he... we barely know each other. You can't be important to someone you just met.

[ « Can you? What if we are? » ]

What advice?
