I wouldn't go so far as to say that. Maybe for some other Alan Wake, but not you. [ Elizabeth shrugs slightly as if the comment is made to make sense. It will, whenever he realizes that things aren't what he truly believes them to be. ] You moved here then from New York City... thirteen years ago?
[ She smiles sadly. ] I haven't had inspiration in some time. Things get... less lively the more you see of it all. Then, sometimes, you meet people that give life a new meaning. Like your.... girlfriend? [ A glance down at his hand to see if he has a wedding ring. ] Your partner is from here. Isn't she?
[ Elizabeth refrains from asking if his partner will be joining him at Deerfest. She can see where he refuses to go if she doesn't join him. An attempt at fixing something that is broken. Another echo, a constant, just reformed in a different way for this version of Alan Wake. Well, the one that should be here having the conversation with him. ]
If I am allowed to, [ A mysterious smile spreads across her face then, ] then maybe I will.
[ As if perfectly on queue, a jingle of keys is heard. She turns and looks to see the Sheriff of Bright Falls coming up to them. A knowing look is given to Tim Breaker. ]
"Oh... DeWitt," [ Tim pauses and looks at Alan. ] "And, Alan. Hey, man. I didn't know you were back in town. Guessing the interview went well?"
[ Elizabeth stands from the bench and begins to brush off her pleated skirt. ] If I make it to Deerfest, Mr. Wake, maybe I'll see you and your partner there.
