Unwanted Visitor

For a number of moments that doubtlessly felt longer than they lasted in reality, I stared at the Protagonist's face, confused.

'What... How... How does she know...?'

Seeing her emotionless face gaze straight back, it became only more and more unsettling as time went on.

"...What do you mean? If I wasn't here to teach you, why else would I be here?"

Thanks to some quick thinking, I was able to refute her statement without showing anything on my face, and although the pause was longer than I'd have liked, I knew it wasn't as big a delay as it felt in my head.

Thus, she responded.

"Everyone who comes here for that... it's always to take me away. The last teacher was like that too. Are you not here to take me away?"

"I'm not."

Technically it wasn't a lie, but it was a rather jarring question to be asked anyway. Take her away? Like kidnapping? Was she really just asking if I was here to abduct her?
