Who is she, then? But the mysterious person moves on before he gets to asking.
Most people would be motivated, or intrigued at least, when something someone asked for casually just got connected to the idea of wanting to live. In Ankh's case, it just makes him bristle further. Did he want to live? Yes, as far as the last thing he remembers, that was what he wanted more than anything. He didn't get it, and now someone is trying to hold it over his head at the price of some unknown favor.
"Why am I here?" It's not a direct response to the question, about what it is this stranger wants him to do. It goes deeper, to how he's 'alive' in the first place, whether this person is responsible. The way he says it is dripping with suspicion.
