What's the saying? "It's always darkest before the dawn", or something like that. I figured it was similar to this. It operates as a story. Which means it's going to get bad then get good again. [ A playful smile tugs at her face. ] Come on, Alan. Put that writer brain to work. I know you can do it.
[ Then, a certain glow comes to her eyes at seeing that determination. It's the one that is unique to Alan Wake. It's good to see it in this version of him. Maybe he can harness it better than the version she knows. He hasn't been trapped in the Dark Place yet. He might be able to avoid it all together then if he's able to pull himself together quicker. Maybe he can find a way out of the story with the version of her so he's never stuck in the Dark Place.
« I really want them to be able to avoid this. » ]
He'll come back. Someday. [ While she sound sure of it, there's a lingering sense of sadness with it as well. ] He might not want anything to do with me, or my friend, or any of this after that.
[ Her eyebrows narrow slightly at the idea of being called crazy. Jesse may be comfortable with who she is, and found her place in the world, but it still is something of a sore spot. Her gaze drifts down with a frown on her face. ]
That's why she hasn't told you about it yet. Our friend. Ordinary. If there's even a hint that you can't understand or grasp it? Neither of us are going to pull you further into this world. Not everyone can handle it. [ She shakes her head. ] Regardless if you believe either of us or not.
[ Jesse goes quiet again, listening to what he says. Her fingers move in return. A sense of longing fills her. It's not the Alan she knows--the one she feels she can't properly call "hers" anymore--and it simply makes her miss the one she knows. She already missed him, now it's just a deeper feeling.
« I doubt I'll be able to do this when I find him again when "Return" starts. There may not be the time for it. He may not want to remember anymore. In the end... it might just be something we remember and no one else remembers the altered reality. » ]
I did. [ Embarrassment strikes her face. ] They were genre savvy, but that's not a bad thing. Casey was an interesting and compelling character. You felt for him, and wanted him to succeed. The ending he got is fitting of the genre... even if the reader may not have agreed with it. But, it was still good.
They make movies of them, you know. In my version of events. [ Jesse gives him a smirk then. ] Someone I... work with was really upset he missed the opening night of The Sudden Stop because of the shut down we had.
[ She nods. ] Don't let her go. If she matters that much to you.
