[ The horrors that lurk are the ones that Alan contends with. The ones that he fights against from taking his place. The Dark wants her to believe that it's him, but, Jesse knows that it's not Alan. He doesn't talk that way, write that way, or see her as another way to boost his ego.
He loves her.
And she loves him.
Jesse kisses him back, trying to figure out how to pour all her love into the motion. Just like he does. She's said she loves him--declared it for the first time. Does he know how much it means that she said it? That she's trying to show him through actions? Is any of it reaching him or is she throwing the words into the night?
Words try to form in her mind to answer the questions. She knows it's not Alan. He can't answer in her mind. ]
