You weren't ready for something like this. No one was, really. You weren't ready to see that life isn't just white or black. People kill. People feel. People don't feel. [ another pause. ] On second thought... maybe you were, to an extent. People are killers, Elizabeth. You know that I am.
βEven you aren't exempt from that.
[ and the Booker that she knows would have some Choice Words about that, but alas, this isn't his time. she's talking to him for a very particular reason, after all. ]
