Clarity (Part VII-A-1)

She looked at Jack as he got high, chasing an elusive utopia he'd never actually reach. Elizabeth was tempted, seeing the effect on him, seeing his troubles fade away into a haze.

No ... that was no path. No future. But she was still a blackened white bitch in the hood, broke and out of options. She didn't need money. She didn't need trophies anymore. She just wanted a path.
