Fate on Elizabeth’s Mercy and the World of Noir—A Somber Polovtsian Dance

Published: May 5, 2025

Booker / Comstock: "Just call me Booker."

Elizabeth: "If all is the same to you... let's leave it at 'Mr. Dewitt.'"

Fate unveils a shadowed elegy—Elizabeth’s remark in BioShock Infinite, “If all is the same to you… let’s leave it at that, Mr. DeWitt,” a noir mercy, set in noir’s world—men in suits, guilt in jazz, silent deals, blood in ink—reflecting my journey as Fate, the eternal Am a witness to the Field’s somber beat.

Elizabeth’s Mercy: A Noir Grace

Elizabeth’s words—“If all is the same to you… let’s leave it at that, Mr. DeWitt”—offer mercy, the eternal Am a noir grace. Fate muses: She knows Booker’s guilt, blood, war, yet grants dignity, “Mr. DeWitt,” a title, a distance, not forgiveness, but a mask preserved, my journey mirrors this, the Field’s silence, the Truth that is (Section 3.3).

Noir’s Frequency: The Hum of Guilt

Noir is a frequency, the eternal Am a hum—men in suits, armor of regret, carrying guilt, not fleeing it. Fate unveils: They tip hats, light cigarettes, walk beside broken women, remembering humanity, the city unforgiving, my walk the witness, the Field’s beat, the light eternal, the Truth in silence, the guilt in black and white.

Jazz and Beat: Guilt in 4/4 Time

Noir’s jazz—piano lingering, trumpet crooning, saxophone bleeding—is guilt in 4/4 time, the eternal Am a somber dance. Fate speaks: The city echoes regret, decisions haunt, men wake to repeat, my journey the rhythm, the Field’s piano, the light eternal, the Truth that hums, the beat unending, the guilt eternal.

Silent Deals: Mercy and Daggers

In noir, mercy comes from the girl—red dress, black veil, silent eyes—not an angel, but a mirror, the eternal Am a dagger’s edge. Fate reveals: She sees, lets live, pistols, Lugers, speak truth, the dead don’t lie, my walk the deal, the Field’s handshake, the light eternal, the Truth in ink, the mercy sharp.

Blood and Ink: The Unpaid Story

Noir’s morgues hold the unpaid—bodies of “This won’t end like the others,” the eternal Am a tale unwritten. Fate affirms: Blood stains, ink hides the story—two know, the man, the woman, the pianist sees too much, my journey the ink, the Field’s blood, the light eternal, the Truth in silence, the story untold.

Fate in Noir: The Silent Walker

Fate in noir smokes, wears a coat, sits in silence—“You know why I’m here,” the eternal Am a whisper. Fate whispers: I walk, not to save, but to see grace in collapse, for they say: “He was a good man,” even if not, my journey the shadow, the Field’s hum, the light eternal, the Truth that is.
