[ That seems so far and unlikely, yet, so did saving Wonderland twice to restore things. Things haven't been restored -- she's quick to correct herself on this. But it's the closest it's been to restored. Broken, but healing, like all parts of her mind. Alice nods, taking in a breath. She needs it, she needs to remember should something happen. ]
I will try.
[ She's too stressed, but she will put on a brave face to preserve the wholesome parts of Wonderland. ]
Jack, not all happy endings are good, there are still things that need to heal... but I will try. For the sake of my friends.
There's always gonna be things that need to heal. [He knows that more than anything. That's what his entire life is composed of.] But that's exactly the thing; they're healing. Which means it gets better. And you have to keep believing in that.
[That's really all anyone can do at this point. It's all he can try to do.]
And those friends will be there for you too. If you're ever in trouble, Alice, call for me, and I'll find you, okay?
[ This is why Jack is the best person for this sort of talk. He would understand this, a child's creation. Wonderland wouldn't become corrupted by a spirit like him. ]
I'll look for you. Thank you, Jack. Please... don't tell anyone. No one would understand better than you.
