Josephine knew the pain would not be gone so quickly, but had hoped it had at least dulled a little. She didn't want Raoul to suffer, and wished she could help him. If there was some way to ease his pain, she would have gladly done it. "I am glad. You must be hungry, after not eating for almost a day... I did not stand for the torment you took; half of which was caused by me. I cannot help but feel I am responsible in part for the agony you had to endure." Her voice was quiet and sorrowful, her eyes downcast with shame. "I was too frightened to try to help you, and you did everything in your power to protect me. 'Tis unfair, 'tis very unfair."
