I want to focus on this fugue specifically because it highlights the first kills Pop and Elliot make in war and the moments that both will never forget. The characters, including Ginny in this fugue, move separate but in unison at the same time. Ginny narrates the deeper emotions Elliot feels, though they are not explicitly stated. Earlier in the fugue Grandpop and Ginny illustrate the silence that engulf every person present in the killing. Though these two characters are not in Iraq with Elliot, it feels to me like they are right there with him. It is like they are speaking for him, saying the words he cannot bring himself to say. It feels as if Elliot is frozen in time and the other characters are moving, feeling, experiencing, reliving their own war stories. Moving back to the highlighted "military code", I find it interesting and illuminatingly powerful to have both Pop and Elliot declare in unison that they are to remove the documents inside the wallets. Within this moment, Pop is narrating Elliot's moment as Elliot narrates Pop's. As they remove more items, the weight of the kill pans to the surface (or the center of the stage). Having never experienced this before, the simplicity in the definitives in the pictures are enough to captivate the audience. I feel so deeply that the stage directions add depth to the narrations and direction for the actors on stage, especially with the dropping of the first photo. All characters realize the impact the death of just one soldier has on Elliot especially and the disbelief of how small the death can feel as the photo is dropped.
