[ Alan feels despair as he feels his fragile grip finally give way and the waves wash over his head.
Your friends will meet him when you're gone. Gone or drowned, what's the difference?
A drowned man can't talk or think, and soon enough, Alan isn't doing anything. Scratch is in the driver's seat, and he smiles a wide, toothy smile for Jesse's benefit. ]
Maybe it's not me who's deserving. I mean, I can't pretend that I don't deserve this, but- look at you, Jesse Faden. You deserve all the great things that the world has to offer, because of the hell you've been through, and guess who can offer you those things?
[ He strikes a pose because he simply can't help himself. ]
Oh, that's right: me. Think about it: I have fame, money, so much charisma that I don't know what to do with it all... I can give you a great life. You won't want for anything, trust me. Name something that you've always wanted. A dream. A wish. A desire that you thought would never be fulfilled.
[ His smile widens, not even faltering for a second, as she continues making statements expressing how she feels. And then the question comes. ]
Do I actually love you? Oh, let me count the ways! Actually, really, I could list all the reasons why I love you, but it would take me a lifetime. Do you have a lifetime, Jesse Faden? Would you want to spend it with me? I'd make you happy, I promise.
