Anna sounded guilty for something she had no part in, but Lucas wasn't the least bit perturbed by the belittling attitude of the priest, instead finding himself interested by the origins of the barrier outside more than ever.

The sudden jolt of his shoulder snapped him from his lingering thoughts, looking up to see Anna's worried gaze looking down at him. 

"...Right. Lina."
