Polaris. All right. [ Something about the name just makes him feel... relieved without really understanding why. There's an undercurrent of not trusting any of this, but even though he still has a long way to go towards believing in the unknown, much less trusting someone like Polaris... the fact that Beth isn't running away from it helps somehow. ] If you say she's a friend, I'll believe you. [ I guess. What choice do I really have? I want to fix what I messed up, and I can't do that if I don't accept this as what it is. ]

I guess I sort of believe in it, because- I don't know. [ He pauses. ] I believe you more, though, if that makes sense. [ It probably doesn't. ]

So what does that mean, that I can see things? What does that mean for us? Should we leave Bright Falls?

[ He looks at Beth for an answer, but the other person in the room speaks up first. ]

What the hell does that mean? This stuff is just going to follow us- follow me everywhere? [ He finds himself glaring at the other Alan as if somehow blaming him for this. ] Should Beth leave, then?

[ The other Alan standing next to Elizabeth shakes his head, crossing his arms as he thinks about the situation in front of him. ] She could, but something tells me she won't. [ He levels a look of apology in Beth's direction. ] Besides, I don't think you really want her to go.
