“This is amazing,” Su said, still leaning over Kevin’s shoulder and peering down at the scrapbooks. Her mind was going into overdrive as they flipped through the book, seeing all the patterns and realizing the whole magnitude of it all. History wasn’t exactly Su’s favorite subject but it was up there and besides, knowledge definitely was something she loved.
Looking up at him when Kevin did, Su reiterated, “Yeah, can we? You know, if you think about it, some of this could actually be helpful in a way. You could find patterns in the way they work, in the things they like to do. You could even figure out how they think, in a way. Researching history helps to predict the present, you know? Not even the way they work, but through these articles you can see, like… how we reacted to it all. Where we went wrong.” Where they’d allowed this to happen, this world they were living in now.
