Doyle made it as far as the beach. Where he sat down, he head resting on his knees, crying over what happened earlier.
"Honestly, I don't know what to say myself." Roxton said.
"That's a new." Doyle snapped at him, "But not very shocking."
"Look, neither one of us could know she'd react that way." Roxton said, "All you did was lying next to her, nothing else."
"Apparently, humans can interprit it differently." Doyle responded, "And if want to say that I'm not different from them..."
"I didn't say anything." Roxton interrupted.
To this, Doyle didn't know what to say. He laid himself down in the sand, not caring much about what happens around him, anymore.
"Still, how did you do that, enter her dreams like you did?" Roxton wondered.
"That Dino-magic must have something to do with it." Doyle answered, "How should I know? And does that even matter right now?"
"Well... yes." Roxton reasoned, "If you can somehow do that, even if it is out of instinct, it must mean your feelings for her are strong. That has to mean something to her."
"How's that?" Doyle asked him, "What if she's as puzzled about this as we are?"
"That's possible." Roxton reasoned, "But she knows about that longer than we do. As do her friends. Maybe she figured it out already."
"Or she knew it when she woke up." Doyle said, "Which would explain why she reacted the way she did."
"How so?" Roxton didn't understand that.
"Would you like it if someone just walks into your dreams?" Doyle asked him.
"I... suppose not." Roxton agreed.
"You know, Ranru was the only reason why I stayed with those people, but seeing her now..." Doyle couldn't finish what he wanted to say, so he said something else, "To think that I even wanted to spent any time with her, thought she was..."
That's when he was at complete loss for words. He buried his eyes in his left hand, trying to wipe his tears away.
"So what do you want to do now?" Roxton asked him, "There's no place for you to go, and even if there was, you wouldn't know it."
Doyle thought about this, then made his decission: "There may be one thing left for me to do."
"Which is?" Roxton wondered.
"Think about it, Roxton." Doyle told him, "Why did we wait for so long? Why did we let Hammond do what he did? Why did we tell everyone we didn't remember his lair, when we know very well where he's hiding?"
Roxton thought about this: "Because we were afraid to go back."
"But by now, it looks like we're no safer out here than we are back there." Doyle told him.
"But it's too risky." Roxton reasoned with him, "After all those months we were gone, things may have changed."
"Maybe." Doyls agreed, "And maybe not. You've seen what we can do to him. We're so much stronger than he is, than any of his monsters are. And he needs us alive, so he wouldn't kill us."
"But he can hurt us." Roxton kept convincing him otherwise.
"Any more than Ranru just did?" Doyle questioned.
Roxton couldn't say anything in return, which meant that he agreed: "I guess not. Not anymore."
