That'd probably mean more coming from himself than from anyone. I mean, who really knows you better than you? [ Jesse is aware how out of body and yet cerebral it must sound. But, no one else is going to know Alan's head better than himself. It's obvious the two still think the same even if they're on slightly different tracks. They're both still Alan Wake. ] Tell him what it is you think you'd need to hear. Not me. Write it down somewhere and it'll probably make it's way to him.

[ « I'm not sure how that will happen. Knowing Alan? He'll make it happen because it's what he wants to have happen. Us meeting him like this... here, now? That's probably the same thing. Alan wanted to reach out to Jesse. He got us instead of the one he was looking for.

She might not believe you at first. Just keep trying. Trust is hard--for both of us. Too many people and years trying to tell us what we think and know aren't real. You never know when someone really believes you or is just saying it. [ Her gaze softens into something like a smile. ] That's why I was excited to meet Alan at first. He was someone like me. Someone who understood how crazy and weird the world really was. It turned out to be ... a lot different than I thought it would be. All of it did.

And, he reached out to me first.
