After Holdens disastrous talk with Banky and Alyssa, everyone goes the separate ways. The screen comes up a short time later. Its another ComiCon. We see a banner for a book called Baby Dave. Its done by Banky, who signing autographs. We also see Alyssa signing copies of her book. Off in the distance, we see Holden. Banky and Holden begin an unspoken dialogue that reminds you how close they once were. After advising him to go share a moment with Alyssa, Banky goes back to signing. Holden goes to Alyssa. He puts a book in front of her. Without looking at whos standing there, she passes it back saying it isnt hers. Holden replies that he knows. Its his. Their eyes meet. She looks at the book again. He tells her he finally had something more personal to say. The comic is called Chasing Amy. We see the last page, where Holden (in comics form) says where ever you are, Alyssa, Im sorry. She tears up, and tells him shell read it. He smiles and walks away.
