But the stairs do. [She calls from the stairwell.] They're old all of a sudden, creaky. [She bounces on the bottom step.] See?
[She jumps off the bottom step and walks into the church.] Oh, has he gone? [Was Peter talking to an empty room?]
[Bruce already tried the doors, maybe he tried them again while they were upstairs and walked out. Or maybe he's dead, only, there's no sign of struggle. Either way, since the doors have already been looked at, she decides to go in the opposite direction, to where the altar would sit.]
Shouldn't there be more things in here? [Soviet Russia has never been big on religion, so church going didn't feature in her childhood, but she has an idea of what a church should look like and this one seems lacking.] Aren't churches supposed to have those wooden stands for the preacher to go up and tell us we're all going to burn in hell. [She spins on her heel, directing the last to the others, her fingers waggling in the universal 'spooky' gesture.]
