Go check he's alive right now. Do it. I don't know. He's here! That is time! But you have to come now! Take Fisher with you, alright? You can't stay here to be with her. I’m not. This night does dead by none. I mean, she's down here somewhere. It means I have to find him. I can't stay with her anymore because she doesn't exist. I'm the only thing I need to do to get him anymore. I wish more than anything, but I can't imagine you with all your complexity, all your perfection, all your imperfection.
