"Have you no will to live?

What are you lacking that makes your life unworthy of protecting? Are you not thinking about what I could do to you? What I would do to you? 

I am, Anna Maria. 

Who holds your fear if not I? Where does it go? I am jealous. No, this is not good. You've spoken just a few sentences to me. I have important things to attend to. 

Do I need to make you scared, Anna Maria?"
