[ Alan latches onto Polaris's presence like a drowning man latches onto a plank of wood. He needs something to help keep him afloat or the memories he hasn't been able to recall until now might drag him down.

Maybe this isn't even a memory in the strictest sense of the word. Maybe it's less of a memory and more of a feeling... a feeling that he couldn't have while he was in the Dark Place. Maybe there's several feelings associated with it, and he's trying to identify and make sense of all of them.

She might notice that he remains quiet as she moves around finding the clothes he picked out in other sizes. He's still with her, not drifting or drowning, but he's just quiet. His eyes are focused, not far away, but for the moment, silence has settled over him.

That is, until she pays for the items and the two of them leave the store and go back outside. ]
