Justin said he felt like we should have been able to prevent it. Maybe if someone had literally thrown her over a shoulder and carried her off, but even then.
You saw what they said about the wedding. That belt. Crouch chose her, all right, but he saw her as a possession. I wish she'd understood that and hadn't taken it to mean real devotion. It's not real, not like that. What she wanted from you, what she thought she was getting in Crouch--I hate to say it but you couldn't have given her that even if you wanted to, because you couldn't treat her like an object. And she couldn't see herself as anything but.
And that's the real tragedy, because she was so much more than a plaything.
