27 [Voice]

[But then, Rachel seems to rethink her question, and she clears her throat softly.]
Though I suppose sometimes it just takes longer than others, doesn't it? Death -- it's rather traumatic, of course, and sometimes the Animus just want to take longer -- maybe it is for dramatic effect -- a grand encore for their work --
[Another pause, somewhat harsher, before her voice becomes a little quieter.]
... it is bizarre how that -- death, returning -- destruction -- all of that has become normal.
