Piecing together an undercurrent in The Dreamer that has never been outright addressed in the comic. Ordered chronologically, not in order of their appearance in the comic.
Bea and Alan had a horrible fight on her 17th birthday, and it was the last time he saw her before she was kidnapped. Until she can remember the fight and decide whether she forgives him, Alan doesn't feel right about marrying her.
The fight itself will one day appear in the comic.
