Alice steps slightly closer to the railing, taking in the different people, some sick, some tending the sick, some passing the time playing games. It makes her feel strange inside; a level of pity and hurt for these people kept away from the world like the dusty books they sleep on.
"Why would she want to destroy all this?" she asks, disbelieving that anyone could be so cruel and unthinking to try to destroy so much knowledge and thoughts. It reminds her of the scene from Elizabeth Taylor's Cleopatra. She can almost hear Liz, furious about Caesar daring to destroy one single, human thought.
