In this short scene, the Governess's body is boiling, and she is afraid of what will happen to her if she does not leave the room. She hears the voice of a "mere human" and feels sympathy for him, but she is also afraid that their relationship will become "less than friends". She feels that she has given her life force to him, and that he has looked "really worried" about her. She wonders if her blood can cure external injuries, and wonders if his voice makes her heart race. She is afraid that if she kept her distance from him, he would not have been hurt, and if he did not leave, she would have been killed
