The guards who let us in are now pursuing us! We have a choice, either run or let them capture us. I think to let them capture us would be easier...

Being locked away my whole life fills me with rage! I just want to be free!
It's only little 'ol me. I just overheard your melancholy words, which have made me feel pity for you.
Then you must die because you heard what I said in my moment of weakness!
I am also shocked to see you and amazed to hear your words in your torment. I believe it was meant to be that I am here today to see you, so that I may not pity myself after seeing your terrible circumstances. Here I was feeling bad for myself, then seeing you here, I realized that my situation is not so bad. Now I realize that you would happily take my sufferings because they are little compared to yours... If you wish, I can tell you of my sufferings if it brings you some relief. I am…
I sympathize with you, you are so beautiful but full of deference. I’m confused. Who are you? I know nothing outside of this tower, but I know everything about this tower, this prison. I have never seen or heard of you before. Just seeing you here settles my anger, and you are a beautiful sight to see, the more I look at you the more I wish to see. I would be happy to die now because I have had the pleasure to witness your beauty.
