God, we get that Hiro is still tripping. Ugh. Elle is telling Sylar that everything will be okay, but he doesn't agree, so she urges him to talk about what's bothering him. He tells her that a man had something he wanted, but he took it at a terrible price, and if Elle didn't secretly know what was going on, I'd think her mind would go to a stranger with candy and a white van or something of that ilk. Elle sympathetically tells Sylar that he's going to get through this, no matter how unlikely it seems now: "Because you're not a bad person." Sylar, wanting to believe her, points out that she doesn't know anything about him, but she tells him she knows what she sees: "A man who deserves a second chance." She holds up the rope and tells him the fact that it broke was a sign. Either absent or unnoticed is a sign of a different type, those being the SCORCH MARKS on said rope. Sylar laughs, genuinely taken with her unrelenting optimism, and notes that he doesn't even know her name. She gives him the real thing, and they smile goofily at each other before he tells her she showed up just like an angel. She then pulls out the supposed errand that brought her there and responds: "An angel with a broken watch." I can see why she'd want to get that fixed -- God may be forgiving, but I still bet he hates it when people are late.
