Dead? [ Alan feels a chill come over him, first when he sees how Beth's demeanor changes, and again when she says those next words. ]
Who's "she"? [ Part of him doesn't want to know, because whoever she is, she's apparently dead, and Beth is afraid that the same thing might happen to her.
Alan immediately hears himself protest inwardly, because no one is going to die on his watch, not again. Jesse died enough times during the loops, and that's enough to make Alan resolved that that won't happen again, to Jesse, or Beth, or this mysterious other person that Beth is talking about.
... Then, something seems to happen that Alan can't really explain; maybe it's more visions. Echoes. But he shouldn't be able to see them anymore, right? It doesn't make sense to him at all, but dreams don't make sense. If this is a dream, anyway. Whatever it is, Alan sees something unfolding in front of him: a scene... no, several scenes playing out until they reach one horrifying ending.
A woman who looks like Beth and Jesse but not exactly, dead on the ground. And apparently her name is Beth as well. What the hell?
Alan lurches back to reality with a jolt, and he looks at Beth with an equally haunted look. But he's not so haunted that he can't form words. ]
That's not going to happen to you. Whatever the hell that was, however the hell I saw it- You're not going to end up dead.
