So basically today i've seen fight club once again, and in the ending scene when the narrator shots himself he obviously has a rough voice and struggles to speak.

I've noticed only now that when marla arrives, the narrator's voice suddenly gets normal again at the very last lines when he say's "everything's gonna be alright" and "i've met you at a very strange time in my life", almost like there's not a bullet hole in his left cheek.

Am i just looking too much into it? Does he just tries to speak clearly to comfort her or is there more depth to it?
