[ Alan repeats the name aloud, although he's heard it before. He knows the name. He knows Jesse's friend, her guide. Well, he knows her because Jesse's told him about her, and because Polaris has let him know her. Either way, just hearing the name spoken out loud causes Alan to relax. Why? Somehow, on some level, Alan associates Polaris and by extension, Jesse, with a feeling of safety.
Even if they're not safe, not by a long shot, there's a sense of security that he feels when he's around them. Maybe it's because he could still be haunted by Barbara. Maybe it's because he knows there's darker things out there, and Polaris and Jesse are the opposite of that. ]
Yeah. I wrote the story. [ He shakes his head, trying to shake off the feeling that all of this is his fault. It's all happening because of him. ] Until some point. That's the key, isn't it? It's the key, and we don't even know how long this will all go. How many turns will the story take?

[ A pause, and another shake of his head. ]
Shouldn't I know that?
