Healer (real name ???)'s Links
The Warden is her enemy, but she has made a vow to never do harm again. As his only caretaker, she is in a unique position to challenge his perspective and share her true feelings: that he's a bloodthirsty madman. The more that is revealed to her, though, the more she thinks he is growing tired of his in-born purpose, but feels he has no way out. She relates to that, and if it means saving thousands of innocent lives, she'll try to reach him and get him to change. Their talks are a philosophical tug of war and she would be lying to say she was not intrigued by his way with words. In other circumstances, they would get along.
One irony that healer keeps secret is that she knows she must be one of the few people in the prison that deserve execution. Warden is not privy to her difficult past.
The Warden is very aware that he is in a position to easily be killed, and he deeply respects Healer's dedication to her moral code and what she believes. He doesn't mind being called a monster by her, as monsters seem to be the only creatures who get things done. She challenges him in many ways, and pries open the tiny crack in his steel-encased resolve. He knows that this can't go on forever, deep down, and so does she, but he must see this through, with or without her help. Even if it kills him.
He enjoys their talks and how brazen she is, how open she is with that she thinks and feels, even if sometimes her lack of respect irritates him.
