However, in his fantasy the imaginary versions of himself and Megan quickly realize how impossible their relationship would be.

Also Megan seems to find is very difficult to imagine them being together. Although the reasons are left unstated it is clear that it is actually Cueball who cannot himself imagine a situation that would make Megan want to be with him, and he projects this into the thoughts of his fantasy version of Megan. He himself mentions the word fantasy, which makes her realize that they are objects in a fantasy (or dream) that will soon end, ans then so will they. |

She goes for burning it to the ground, and the fantasy Cueball is with her, since he has also realized that he will loose here when this fantasy ends. Rather than allow Cueball's idle daydream to end romantically, they run rampant and bring his fantasy crashing to a halt. |
