Maria remains a mystery.
:52:19
It's hard for me to determine the roots
ofher sexual dysfunction...
:52:23
or the extent
ofher childhood trauma.
:52:26
There have, to date,
been no repressed-memory flashes...
:52:29
or nightmares...
:52:31
yet she lives in a constant state
of suppressed paranoia.
:52:38
Maria is oddly protective
ofJoseph.
:52:42
He seems to be a good person...
:52:45
captured by Maria's
intense passion...
:52:47
which often springs forth
to surprise me at any moment...
:52:51
captured by her beauty
and seductive charms...
:52:55
and, most likely, captured
by his own need...
:52:58
to suck love from those who are
too wounded to give it freely.
:53:06
I know this man.
:53:24
Finally.
:53:25
Hera:
Trials of the Goddess Obscura.
:53:29
First published in 1908.
:53:32
It's been out of print
since 1932.
:53:36
You have yet
to let me down, Eva.
:53:39
I find the combination
of charm and intelligence...
:53:44
a rare union these days.
:53:53
Maria will take time.
:53:56
She is in the darkness
before self-realization.
