Nathaniel found her curling up on the ground instead, she cried, she cursed she did not know what to do next and this confused both her, apparently, and Nathaniel as well. He sat up, still grounded after his encounter and her curling up just in front of him. He crawled over and sat next to her as she cried, and cried and cried, staring at the ceiling the whole time as she whimpered as not to be rude. "It's just so nice to have company." He said, her teary eyes turning to him briefly before she teared up some more, "cry as long as you need I'll be right here waiting." The girl expected to be feared, to be shunned and she cried for awhile longer before their encounter evolved into a conversation.
She had apparently always been feared and disliked by her community, they locked her in here as a child and hoped she would somehow come to grips and be saved by the grace of god but she didn't she died here. No one came looking for her and seeing a spirit made many run in agony, she was in pain, she felt unloved and eventually began to act the part in hopes of filling the void inside her. Nathaniel explained that he wouldn't show her anything but admiration, he couldn't imagine being in this state for so long and being so uncomfortable in her own skin. He offered to take her somewhere besides the church, somewhere he had another friend he had met recently and might enjoy her company.
Together the two of them left the old church.
