"And I choose to honor you over her"
I watch Mother struggle in the water and wonder "is it worth killing her?" Father and I had killed a lot of people fighting our way out of Rapture, but they had all been on their feet and fighting. And there's no fun in this. Mother couldn't even put up a fight in her state. So I will take a leaf from father's book and won't kill her.
Father. I love him, and will always love him, but he's been different since I brought him back from the dead. He's not my white knight anymore. He is more pragmatic. He's willing to do anything for me, and even if I'm not particularly happy with the result, I find myself understanding why he did it. Rapture is not a kind city. Teaching me kindness will not help me escape

After all, I am no longer a little sister, and he is no longer my big Daddy. I gave him free will. He isn't just a big Daddy anymore, he is a thinking being. Mother calls Rapture a house of monsters. Could we have escaped Rapture without becoming a monster? If I stayed, I know I would have gone crazier then Gil Alexander.

What made me think I could ever do anything else. I am nothing if not a survivor. He's my father. I love him. I need him. I can not leave him to die.
What is a little sister without her protector.
He may not have wanted me, but he defined me. He chose to survive, no matter the cost, and I will not let those instincts go to waste.
I am not a singularity. We will fight our way to the top of this world. Perhaps one day, the little sisters can walk free, and be safe, but first the world must be a safe
