Back at the apartment, the Governess is still recovering from her trip to the doctor's office. The Governess tells her that the doctor told her not to be shy because she's a strong girl, and that if she keeps doing too much, her half of the family will awaken and she'll be in danger. She's not sure what that means, but she thinks it's probably that she keeps overworking herself. She wonders if she is being greedy and asks for too much from her family, and wonders if the blood in the family is "thick" . She asks if this is a reaper, and he says that he's been by her side all this time, and they can talk without having to say a word to each other. He asks her if she has something to ask him, and she says that she does, and asks him if it would be okay for her to ask about it. He says that if it involves reaping, then he should ask her, but he doesn't want to be a "sticker in their business" , so he wants to find out what's going on. He wonders if it was okay for him to ask, and if it makes her uncomfortable around him after all. He's worried about her, he says, especially after what happened on the roof. He wants to know how she ended up with such a bad relationship with him. He admits that he is being rude, but says that his apology isn't enough, because he'd like to know what caused her to be so angry with him in the first place. He thinks that the more he thinks about it, the more that he blames himself for it.
