[ booker's life always seems normal until she walks into it. painfully mundane. he could be anyone, doing anything. she's the only thing of note he's ever done with his life.
when she comes through the door, there's a strong, strange sense of deja vu. like this has happened before to him. or to someone else. ]
...Hey.
[ kindness settles in the lines of his face, the set of his broad shoulders. she knows things. he doesn't. that's a lot of responsibility to heap onto a young girl's shoulders. in all fairness, booker did try to understand, when elizabeth was explaining to him. but he gave up when he saw that there was no matching her. that she was something special, beyond him.
it's nobody's fault but his own.
so he can't explain what he's going on here. he definitely wouldn't go to heaven, so he can't pretend he thinks that's where he is. but if there's anyone whose face he'd want to see at any time, it's hers. he's still not sure whether he has a right to feel that way about her. but he does.
i'm so sorry
