[A mess. It is a nice hiding spot, though, and Anne almost feels safe. Almost.
She's already cried today, multiple times, and crying in front of Mephisto feels particularly offensive. So she takes a sharp inhale before she speaks, her voice quieter and less musical than usual-- for the first time in a very long time, Anna von Kleve does not want to draw attention to herself.]
I've outlived my usefulness. Quite literally, I'm afraid, since I completed my life, and then-- well, you know, herstory remix. It was not very smart. If I could live again, be Queen again, of course he could. [She draws another breath, this one quicker, as her voice gets smaller, and the fear in her starts to grow.]
What use is a bargaining chip, if there is no kingdom to be bargained with anymore? There's no longer a--- a point, to allowing me to exist. [Her voice cracks. She stops speaking.]
