[ The look he gives her is one that says he knows what she means, even if there might be a difference in the kind of pulling that both of them are talking about. Elizabeth's type of pulling is probably different than the kind that Alan has experienced; and he'd say that his was less of a pull than it was a dive. ]
Yeah, I kind of guessed that. Maybe I'm wrong, but that doesn't sound too different from how the Dark Place works. I don't know about fracturing minds and putting them back together, but I know I remember where I'm from. [ He shrugs. It's probably not the same thing at all and he's just grasping at straws for some reason. ]
I guess when you put it that way, it makes sense that it would seem normal to you. Normal, natural... not something to be scared of.
[ But then Alan's focus is drawn instantly by what Elizabeth says next. He all but snaps to attention once he realizes what she's said. ]
... The Sister? [ If she'd just said that and nothing else, he might have been only mildly curious, but since she mentioned the Brother and the Writer, that can only mean one thing. ]
Yeah... Yeah, I know her. And she was supposed to come here?
