This scene is about one thing: grief. Clarissa's personality unravels as everything hits her at once: Pali, her fall to the cult, the Census Office changing. Her self is eroding and this is the catalyst for Act III and her sprint to get out. I am not sure what I am going to do, but I need to make her leaving inevitable but surprising.
The elixir must be in this scene. Nothing makes sense if it's not.
