Altered World Events. [ Alan repeats the phrase, trying to digest it and whatever it means. ] So that's what you call all these crazy things that shouldn't happen and shouldn't be able to turn people into monsters and- Got it. Kind of.
What if, when I tell the Bureau what I'm doing and what they might be able to help with, they decide that they don't want to help? That they don't like what I've had to do to get here... that they don't like what I might have to do to actually stop the Dark Presence? Because yeah, it's not stopped. It's still out there, obviously.
[ There's no attitude behind that last statement, just an acknowledgment that the Dark Presence is still a huge threat. The biggest threat, even. ]
Faden. Faden... [ He repeats the name, feeling the smallest nudge at his mind, as if something is telling him he should know that name and why she's important. The keychain tried to wake up something in his mind, but he still doesn't know what that is. ]
Why isn't anyone saying who she is? Is she the Director? Why the secrecy there, unless it's to protect her?
[ She's waited what sounds like a long time for this--you being back.
Alan's hand curls around the keychain again. But why? What's she been waiting for? Could it be that- No, that's crazy, right? ]
She said that the Director was here with me in 2010, but I know I didn't meet the Director then. Unless... did I meet the Director and didn't know it? Is that what she was trying to say?
