Description

"In the end, Barry wasn't going to shoot Sarah, they both knew that. Once she had no chance of catching up to Wake, Barry gave up the gun and sat down on the floor, shielding his face from the merciless glare of the Well-Lit Room.
"I don't think I'm ever gonna see him again," he said in a weak voice.
Sarah didn't have it in her to be mad at him. Besides, he was probably right." (Departure, Page 6.9, Sarah and Barry in the Well-Lit Room)


I still don't completely understand what happened between them here. Maybe I'm stupid. But this scene that appeared in my mind just wanted me to draw it.
Poor guys. Especially Barry. Alan meant a lot to them, even to Sarah. And now he's gone...

Barry on some level understood Alan meant to go on alone even though he would have on some level gone with his friend and Sarah would have gone as well.  Alan had a way of inspiring people.  Of course I am probably projecting my own interpretation onto the moment - both as it happen in the cut scene and from the manuscript page.  The point also is that the page in the Well Lit Room only describes Alan as being at Cauldron Lake for the dive into its depths to free Alice.  Alan had to follow the page's details exactly - so he went on alone and his friends had to let him do so even though it was likely one of the hardest things they had to do - especially Barry. 

I am looking at this like a writer - ready to analyze it though that's writers do among other things.
