   ”Blood? —Where?” It wasn’t as Jack had been injured recently, as far as he knew. Unless, he happened to get hurt and didn’t realize it? At this, the young man examined the bare parts of his body in search of the bodily fluid. He didn’t find anything until he looked down at his cable-knit sweater, which was covered in both dirt and oxidized blood that came from a combination of both Splicers and himself.

Do you even know she’s there?

Quick! Turn around, check above you and behind the dark corner…still don’t see her?

Spinning.

Everything was spinning. Back and forth and the tides were pushing and pulling her so hard that she felt the wind escape her. A gasp and her eyes were bright, wide open, and the first thing that she saw was the woman in front of her. There was the strangest sense of drowning, like she couldn't keep up, and in that instant, Elizabeth simply found herself searching for the words that she could not find.

Rapture.

A new place, a new experience, brand new faces and even newer concepts and thoughts that rose to mind. The Luteces had always existed, regardless of timeline, regardless of place, regardless of any sort of variable that there was in the equation. The Luteces, whether in a pair (or alone, as this was such a case), always existed.

She knew Rosalind well enough to bob her head (despite the feeling like her chest was expanding, being flooded with water; where were her cigarettes? where, where, where?). And instantly, she reached back, patting herself for the pack.

God damn it. The suffering was something she could undergo.

Lexie glanced around, checking to make sure the coast was clear before hurrying off with her little treasures. The little girl had found a tool kit, some old wind-up toys, and a music box lying in a waste bin outside one of the many gift shops around the city. But despite where she found them, Lexie knew she could fix them, and if she couldn't, she could make them into something better! Her mind buzzed with ideas as she hurried down hall, unaware of a person walking just around the corner.
