[ allison lets all the messages come through, lets them sink in. she isn't sure how to respond to the first part. ben has a faith in her that allison thinks she doesn't deserve, and even though ben might be the hardest ass around, now, that doesn't mean he knows the full extent of what she's done. he might think differently if he had.

I'd rather spend the rest of my life trying, if that's what it takes.
[ it's better than the alternative. better than continuing to hurt everyone around her, better than making wishes not to be alone, only to be driven further and further into a different kind of isolation.
then she adds, because this conversation is difficult, and both she and ben could use some lightness right now: ]
I don't think you can chalk it up to just being dead, though. No one reads multiple depressing 600 page novels without getting a little judgy.
