In this short scene, the Governess attempts to soothe her fears. She tells her that she will make sure that she is satisfied with the amount of time she spends in the room. She also tells her to stop saying that she does not care if she stays like this, because she feels safe when she is drowning in the scent of her lover's body. The Governess is pleased to hear that she was able to control her heat by taking heat-inhibitors, and she is relieved to learn that she did not have to worry about her heat. She is pleased that she has been able to subdue her fear by pushing her to the edge of the room so that she cannot touch her lover. She then tells him that he should not do anything that he did not ask her to do. She explains that she told him not to come to the room as he wished unless it was important, and that it still does not seem to have changed.
