Okay, so... Alex was bad at making films. So what? What does that have to do with Tim? [She looks down, thinking: what might the right question be?]
It had something to do with the static, didn't it...? And that... thing that was on the tape. The one that caused the static. [Her expression brightens, feeling like she's come closer to a straight answer.] It gave Alex his static, too?
[Oh boy, but she's mad. Tim's snickering to himself on the other side of the mirror. He's got one last parting shot to make, though. One last shiv to the heart.]
Remember to look behind you. It always watches with no eyes.
[She just knows that if she turns to look he'll laugh at her. But still, the hairs on the back of her neck stand, and she feels goosebumps run down her arms.
She turns her head to look, trying to seem casual and unconcerned. But she can't help the small sigh when she sees nothing; though she feels silly more than anything else.
She grabs the edge of the cloth draped over the mirror, and with a quick tug fully covers the mirror again.]

[It was actually pretty accurate, all things considered. Even if Alex didn't explain it very well at all. But his exposition was always shit.]

She doesn't believe what he wrote, of course. But actions do speak louder than words...
She saved Arcadia Bay.]
