[...] She spent so long [...] trying to think for the group. [...] By the end, she had suffered a great deal; she had been betrayed by Cornelius, and also, perhaps, by you.

Description summary:
The third paragraph varies based on the city's Official Alignment.

Alignment	Third Paragraph
Radical Liberationist Prehistoricist	As to the local ideology... she might have hoped for at least a little of the Emancipationist dream to survive. But it was always both the simplest and the most impossible self-concept for the tracklayers to hold on to.
Prehistoricist-Emancipationist Emancipationist-Liberationist	It's clear, too, that she takes pleasure to see the Emancipationist ideal carried forward, even if it's mixed with other plans.
Radical Emancipationist	It's clear, too, that she takes pleasure in the Emancipationist dream. Before, she did not really hope to be able to achieve the utopian ambition; but it has become everyone's ideal.
Anti-Liberationist Anti-Prehistoricist	There is an edge of anger in her voice. Certain ideologies are forbidden here, though she once represented them all. The city has thicker walls and narrower gates than it otherwise would.
Mixed	Then, too, it's a relief to see the factions harmonised. She could not easily contain them all when she was an ordinary person. But as a city she encompasses all of them easily.
Complacently Unrevolutionary	It does pain her to see all the dreams of the tracklayers squandered so quickly. None of her three faces could have spoken for the city as it is now.
