[ Green eyes dart to look up at him then. It's not a pointed look, but a flat one. In what other state is there to leave her in? Happy and proud that he's going back and fixing the mess? She is, to some degree. She's proud he's managed to pull himself back from the brink enough to make the decisions on his own. That he could write the story to be at this point. That he's obviously free of the Dark Presence and can be Alan Wake again.

She just wishes she was there along side him to fix the rest of the mess.

« This is what heroes do, right? In stories. They have to make sacrifices to save the day. This is mine. Letting him go.

I hate it. » ]

What's the point in yelling about it? That doesn't change it. Nothing about any of what I do changes any of this. This is yours and Saga's story, Alan. You know that. I'm.. just the side character. Polaris is the on that points you in the way to go. That's how it has to go in order to get you where you need to go to end it. We both know that.

Sorry. All three of us know it.

That's- Damn it, that's not it. That's never been it.

[ Alan's tone is suddenly harder, more tense, almost like a rubber band about to snap. ]

You're not just a side character, not to me, and I don't give a damn about what the story says.

[ Unfortunately, what the story says is what they have to follow. ]

You know I'd take you with me if I could, or hell, I'd just stay right here. [ His hands clench into fists and a frustrated look takes his face. I hate this. She knows I hate this, doesn't she? ]

It's not fair. [ Nothing about any of this has been fair, but this feels even more unfair than everything that's happened before. ]
