also that scene in utrh when bludhaven is blowing up in the background and bruce wants to go to check on dick, and jason yells: "no! you're not leaving! not now! not this time!" not this time?
thinking about mulder and scully on the run, traveling from motel to motel like they did for years, hiding instead of seeking. moving from place to place when there is nowhere that is free of haunting; there is nowhere that they haven’t been already, nowhere they haven’t suffered already, nowhere they haven’t almost died already. migrating through memories in reverse. a cemetery in oregon, a bench in pennsylvania, a ghost town in georgia; the country a constellation of lost time, of something they were building that ended in nothing.
