 They are in the botanical garden, near the Cathedral of All Saints. She sees one tear and leans forward and licks it, taking it into her mouth.( As she has taken the blood from his hand when he cut himself cooking for her. Blood. Tear.)

Her jerk, her pain, is accidental, is intentional 3. Her hand is near her temple. )
