In this short scene, the Governess attempts to explain to her lover why he has chosen to stay with her. She admits that it is difficult for her to accept the fact that she is the one who has died, but she feels that she has made the death of her lover unnecessary. The Governess explains that she made him die alone, but that she would not have prevented him from living his life the way he deserved. She also admits that if it had not been for their shared past lives, they would never have come to know each other. She is pleased that they have been able to live in the present, and she is certain that she will never again let him go.
