[There's a small part of Alex that she wouldn't admit to, but she was relatively certain that even if the two of them got on the plane to Brazil, they'd end up in Geneva anyway. The answers and the people taken there and the story and everything else wouldn't go away, and both her and Richard were people who were dogged by the answers that they'd both been seeking and that had consumed their worlds for the last three years.
And she couldn't deny that she'd follow Richard where he went. She'd told him that she would, that she always would. To hell and back, even if hell was just other people.
Wrapping her arms around herself for a moment, Alex just didn't know what to say to that. She wanted to argue that being important to people was different than being at the center of a demonic conspiracy to bring about the end of the world, but she knew from experience that trying to argue with Simon about something like that would only end in a series of unending frustrations for her. So, instead, Alex focused on something else entirely:]
What are you going to do now that you're here, Simon. This place, it's different. It's not like at home.
