I think about the way Baz teased me earlier, how he wanted to know what it felt like to have someone who would do anything for me. Maybe it sounds comforting to know there is a person out there who would risk his life to protect you–a person who would back off when you asked and then come to you when you changed your mind. Especially when that person is as kind and decent as Jesse. The truth is, it’s terrifying. It’s just one more opportunity for me to be a monster. Paula Stokes
About This Quote

In this quote, Baz mentions that knowing that there is a person who would risk his life for you is a comforting feeling. Often times, people are put in situations where they feel as if they have no choice but to do what they believe is right. When people are put in these situations, it is normal for them to wish that there was someone who would protect them from the consequences of their actions. In this case, it happens to be Jesse.

He is kind and caring and willing to stand up for those who cannot defend themselves. However, with Baz being as powerful as he is at the age of 12, he has a lot riding on him and does not have enough time to worry about protecting others before he needs to protect himself.
