It is a fool's errand which has her currently in her predicament: squeezed under a stairwell with the rattling of the department store all around her. It comes in regularity which offers no comfort for that fact. Instead the Big Daddy's thunderous footsteps are like a drum beat, promising death itself coming closer, and closer, with the same promise as the very march of time.

Time didn't used to have any meaning to Elizabeth but it does now, and as she holds her breath between the long strides of the Big Daddy, she is reminded that time is no longer on her side. A few months ago she could have created a tear through space and simply stepped away out of danger. She wouldn't have wanted to, given her mission here, but it is an option she isn't used to not having.

Elizabeth thought if she could follow a Little Sister she could find out better what was going on here in Rapture. Instead, she catches the attention of this Big Daddy now on her trail. Its horrible wailing makes her cringe and she curses herself as she stares up at the stairs spiraling up out of sight above her. She can almost hear Booker's warning her to get out of there, but even that doesn't help her. Elizabeth ends up feeling crushed with the memory of him, and even more stuck where she is.
