I saw the connection with water clearly established from the beginning, from Elisa's dreams of her apartment underwater and her sexual morning routine, and so when Zelda said that she was found as a baby in a river, with those parallel marks on her throat assumed to be the cause of her muteness, it was not surprising to me at all and I only hoped the narrative would follow through with the obvious conclusion, which it did. I don't think I need it to be clarified whether Elisa was never quite human or whether the Asset changed her or whether she really was just abused and dumped as a baby, though I feel the film leans strongly toward the first interpretation. The resonances are in the right places for me.
