I AM CARL MARIA, YOUR BETTER-HALF 
“I still have questions for you today”
Maria stopped Halker and said. Peter did not reply.
Maria asked…"Why don't you tell the government about me?
Peter still did not reply.
Maria said.
“I am Carl Maria.., your better-half  " 
"There are no other women here..? Are you imprisoning me without tying me? I feel like life is like Millarker's stories! I don't even understand why. I love that you are my world... but it's a pity to live only in your world.”
Maria said and stopped.
Peter said nothing. Halker knows Maria will say more. He should at least listen to it. Otherwise, Maria will be more worried. Maria's eyes say it.
Halker looked into Maria's eyes. Halker saw Maria's eyes sink into sockets with lingering agony. Still, Maria strained to open her dry eyes... to see beyond the iron door that she kept locked.
