in her mind, she doesnt want him to be like her, to see the things she has seen. family dying off in front of her eyes, the loss of family plantation, the suicide of her friend which she is convinced is her fault, charms and fools many people into thinking that she is something other than what she truly is, run out of her home town and can't afford to support herself. relying on the kindness of strangers help her get her life back on track or give her some money..homeless person kind of thing.
