Yeah, I think you'd call me crazy. Not because of that, but because- [ He shakes his head and his frown deepens. ] Look, I don't know how to handle this, okay? Crazy shadow people running around in the woods, in town... People I can't see but are there. What do you even call her? She's not a person, but she's... something.

[ He rubs his eyes with both hands because this is all a lot for him to try and make sense of. ] I think you'd call me crazy because I spent so long pretending I didn't see things, and- I guess I can see things and I can't pretend anymore, can I?

[ To Alan, he thinks he sounds crazy. And what's crazier is the realization that he's actually trying to make heads or tails of this crazy world they're both in. ]

I don't- I don't want you to leave. [ He might not know very much, and he might not have answers to his questions, but he knows one thing: ] I don't want you to leave by yourself.

[ He's sure that Beth is going to wonder where this sudden change in attitude is coming from, and while he's not looking at the other Alan, the expression on his face is one wondering the same thing.

Maybe Alan never wanted to be apart from Beth. Maybe all the weirdness scared him at first, but maybe he realized that he could deal with a little weirdness if it meant getting to stay with her. ]

If you leave Cauldron Lake, I'm going with you.
