There's an element of study and needing to know for the Bureau. She can't deny that. That's just not what it is for Jesse. He's someone she loves. She can't lock him up and throw away the key.
Dylan's only in the containment he's in because of the Hiss... and being in coma.
Her gaze stays downwards. ]
Yeah... for awhile it was just me. Sometimes my friend--when the connection would work. [ Her hands flex. ] You were there a few times.
[ « Then, I was alone again. Just you here with me when you could be. »
Jesse frowns more as her eyes narrow at the floor.
« Then, I was alone again. Just you here with me when you could be. Now... now you're here with me always. Dylan isn't taken by the Hiss. Alan's home. Everything I have wanted for YEARS... and it's still wrong somehow. » ]
"Departure" was the same way. [ She gently intervenes. ] The Dark Presence--what the Bureau calls "the Shadow"--used you to write a story. It even took the name of your next novel. You had to get back to the place you wrote "Departure" to change the ending. Stop everything from happening. Save Alice Wake.
Which means this isn't much different of a situation. It's created a manuscript using you. We need to find the pieces to change the story's ending and put a stop to this AWE.

What it wants is out into our world. Most resonances like it want to exist in our world to spread their influence. Even my friend is like that to a degree. Except, she's good. Harmonious. Lives with us instead of taking us over. The Dark Presence uses artists to do it but we don't know why it can alter reality using art. Every resonance works differently... for some reason it just responds to art.
[ Her eyes dart to the pile of manuscripts. Her shoulders curl slightly. He sent her the message of being in Bright Falls not to be there when he came home... but to fight the Dark Presence again. Her heart beats. Of course. He wouldn't remember anything about them. Why would he ask her to be there to welcome him home? ]
I'm your firepower. So, just point me in a direction. I'll take care of it. Just like I did Hartman.
