Now, he wasn't really waiting for her to back him up so it's fine, you know, it's fine.
For a few moments, none of them move.
And then, Billy and Ms. Lewton charge, and in an instant they're alight, writing and screaming. ]
I warned you. [ With a haggard voice, Alex stands, and he turns to Carter and Terry, who are still trying to collect themselves. A little hard, with only two legs between them. ] This ain't any of you. This ain't...
[ He's repeating that to himself as he summons another Fireball. Despite the tears in his eyes. Despite feeling all at once like this is Right and this is Wrong. Carter gives him one last look and it's almost pleading. Why?
Alex looks away as he burns them. ]

You're dead, Tod. Even...before all this. You died...and I couldn't stop it. I just...have to live with that. [ Until he doesn't. The voice in the back of his head unnerves him for the first time. ]
Heh... I'll tell George you say-- [ Alex lights him on fire. As he burns, he laughs.
The only phantom left is Clear, who hasn't moved a muscle from where she stands. ]
Alex...
[ He stiffens and shuts his eyes. Her too... He doesn't know if he can handle her too. He's already so very tired. ]
