[ dave rambles and jade... gets it to an extent; she knew, in her memory, she was going to see dave again. she'd chalked it up to worst case scenario (she won't be auditioning for romeo and juliet later this month, but, "thus, with a kiss, i die" seemed like an answer to that feeling) but this explains it. there was something else she was doing, and it's kind of a relief.
"there was a monster" is what does it for her, first. it's the floodgates to the memory of an assault rifle in her grip, warm from use. dave's behind her and she knows, in present time, what's going to happen when the half dog half man thing glows electric green. the jade in her memory doesn't and keeps shooting and then the thing is gone, behind her with dave, so she turns and -
her bullets are exiting dave's body, the monster behind him, and the memory ties in seamlessly. jade drops the gun, replaces it with dave's body.
present time jade doesn't reach for dave's hands until her memory is grabbing him, then it's her hands on his and she pulls into him; ]
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so so so sorry--
[ her arms around him in a hug, chest flush against his. he feels real but jade buries her face in the crook of his neck, pressing her forehead to his pulse. she wants to make sure. ] I'm so sorry, Dave, I really, really am.
