ANYTHING EXCEPT LETTERS. ALLEN, DID YOU JUS COME DOWN HERE TO GIVE

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN? WHY NOT?

WHO ISN'T LOVELORN? LUCIEN HAS

GREAT POTENTIAL. YEAH. HE DID... BEFORE HE STABBED

DAVE TO DEATH. LUCIEN IS

A TENDER SPIRIT... SLIGHTLY ARROGANT,

SLIGHTLY HUMBLE... SLIGHTLY BEAUTIFUL,

SLIGHTLY DARING,

SLIGHTLY BRILLIANT. I TRY TO SEE THE WORLD

THROUGH LUCIEN'S EYES. I DREAM...

ABOUT HIM. REAL...SLEEPY-TIME,

I-CAN'T-CONTROL-

MY-SUBCONSCIOUS... DREAMS. IF HE HAD ANY IDEA

OF THE MADNESS... WENT ON IN MY HEAD... HE WOULD DETEST ME

AS A PSYCHIC VAMPIRE,

AS MY PHRASE. AND I KNOW

THAT IT'S ALL TOO HOPELESS

EVEN TO BE HOPELESS LOVE. I'M NOT DAVE. BUT LUCIEN

IS MY BEST FRIEND. ALL THE SAME. YEAH...
