Well, when we get out of this? I'll just have to show you. Pretty sure Langston was pissed about a.. uh, situation, that kept him from seeing the premiere of The Sudden Stop. Man, he tried so hard to get midnight showing. Anyways. Just know that people like them. A lot. Even if its hard to believe.
Let me know if you have any questions later.
[ Jesse Faden doesn't register the doors to the Board Room have been opened. Her green eyes are laser focused on the papers in front of her. Even as Polaris tugs at her to get her attention? She doesn't change her focus.
Something has to be in the records about this place. Well, the records they managed to have with them when Central Executive and attached hallways got sucked into this threshold. She just hasn't found it yet. They've been here for some time now. Has the Bureau never encountered this threshold before? It's so similar to the Dark Place.
Not that Jesse really likes to think of the Dark Place.
Letting Alan Wake go had been one of the hardest things she had ever done. She was convinced he brought her into the story to save him--to bring him home to their reality. It wasn't until the very end she realized that could never be the intention of the story. What Alan had never intended. She was there to save him in a more metaphoric sense. Save Alan Wake as who he was, not where he was. He had to be pulled out from the waters of the Dark Place if he was ever going to escape.
Realizing and accepting it had broken her heart. Not to the point where she doesn't love Alan. She still does--deeply, even--but all she can see is her role in the stories he wrote is over. There's nothing else he would need her to do. He stopped Scratch and the Dark Presence. According to Saga Anderson and Alex Casey's interviews? A bullet of light pushed the possession out of Alan. He was saved from it, Scratch, the loops, the spiral. Logan was safe. Everyone had their good ending.
Except for her.
She buried the feelings deep inside the moment he drove off in the FBI's rented car. She is the Director. She can't be compromised. Even if Sevastopol and Estevez knew what it did to her. She has to lead the Bureau forward. This situation is no different. She doesn't have the time or luxury to be compromised or remembering how lonely that Christmas after the 82nd Deerfest was.

Jesse lowers and shakes her head.
« Why do I always think him at times like this? »
Polaris nudges Alan once more.
