Je jej únoscom, no zároveň jediným, kto ju smie chrániť. „V každom ryse jej tváre som nachádzal tisíc podobností s človekom, ktorého by som dokázal dobiť holými rukami. Spôsobom, akým sa dívala, hovorila, či hýbala, mi ho pripomínala tak vtieravo, že som jej mal chvíľami chuť urobiť to, čo by som bez váhania spravil jemu. No ona, nech bola vinnou, nech bola jeho krvou alebo najhorším zlom, v prvom rade bola ženou. Bola až príliš mladá. Dnes som voči nej nevystupoval ako ten silnejší. Nezažil som pocit víťazstva ani moci, necítil som, že nad ňou získavam prevahu. Mal som pred očami náš cieľ, z duše sa mi ale protivil strach v jej tvári. Chcel som jej prikázať, nech sa na mňa nedíva, ale bez pocitu, že som slaboch." Zviazaná svetom, ktorý dávno prestal dávať zmysel, našla v jeho očiach záchranu. Zverila mu lásku.
