i feel wounded

video.

[The camera is pointed away from Alana, sitting on one of the steps to Will Graham's house in order to face the fields and nearby woods as the sun begins to sink in the sky. One of her knees is visible to the side.]

I wonder sometimes if I could be happy in this kind of quiet. It seems...simpler. Easier.

[Winston climbs down the steps, passing over the camera and a little ways down the path to the stick Alana discarded. He picks it up and looks up at her and the camera. Winston carries the stick over and lies down at the bottom of the stairs with it to chew on it.]

But I don't think it is. I think it's lonely. I don't think people are meant to stay like this forever.

[What she doesn't say is maybe if Will hadn't been left out to sea, left on his own, things might have been different. Will wouldn't have been hollowed out the like the house behind her, robbed of all that made him Will and replaced with a suffocating darkness like Hannibal Lecter.]

[But she can't change the past. And she realizes the most she can do is continue to move forward.]
