What?

[There is nothing quite so horrifying as that image drawn in her mind's eye. It isn't some nameless person either--it's Jack and Eugene. And perhaps having nearly lost Gai, Elizabeth is a little more raw and a little more susceptible to the images her imagination so readily supplies.]

[There are several moments of silence as Elizabeth tries to own this idea, but she ultimately can't. Her first impulse is to ask why, why such a thing was allowed to happen. But she had seen why with her own eyes--it was the same question she had asked of Booker when she'd seen three bathrooms marked Women, Men, and Colored/Irish. It was the same principle that had founded Finkton. It was the thought behind the displays in the Hall of Heroes.]

[Hate for the Other.]

[She'd hoped that things were different, believed that the fact that Jack and Eugene were married meant that things were different a hundred years later. But it was the same fight, only with different people.]

[After a stretch of a minute of silence, Elizabeth can't find anything to say.]
