something strange is going on. the upsurrgence of a religious agenda startled hassan enough to be worried about it, but only did he truly grow concerned with his son started going to the church. never did he want to limit ali, but this... the sheriff has seen what christianty can do to people, and he didn’t want ali to get hurt. and now there’s this — mrs. gunning, aging backwards, it seemed. he had met her when he first moved to the island. a very old woman, bed ridden with dementia. it was a sad sight, but now? she was walking around, wrinkles smoothing like butter, hair getting its color back, and she seemed to remember her friends and family once again. regardless of what the father was saying, miracles aren’t normal. he wants to remember that.
sheriff hassan is standing with his hands on his hips, far enough away from the church that he can watch but not be seen unless someone was looking for him. when mildred steps up besides him, he glances down at her, hiding any questions he may have with as friendly of a look as he could give. ‘ i’m surprised you’re still out here. they look like they’ll be starting soon, ’ @mildredgunning.
