“Gertrude… Gertrude, the world has changed. And you didn’t change with it. What you did, what you were willing to do, it’s changed. It’s become necessary to destroy the old ways of doing things so they can’t be used. And the new ways are so much more powerful. In your last two years… I don’t know what else we can do.”
oh my god
that was Gertrude’s whole motivation to the end
she saw the world as a series of systems, and she wanted them all to be put into a new, “efficient” arrangement
Gertrude was a “savior”
that’s why she’s here
