Ever since Maria's father left her in the room after that depressing conversation, Maria had just sat on the bed staring at her hands in her lap. She just sat there, distressing herself at the result of her conversation with her father. She couldn't cry because something was telling her that there was no reason for her to cry. Unexpectedly, she was calm and learned to accept her father's decision. In normal situations, maybe she would not accept it and curse her father until her voice had given up, but maybe because she had already expected that result and maybe because she also knew that there was still another way to escape from here, she just sat down, acting unbelievably calm. Despite expecting that her father would refuse to help them, she was still disappointed and hoped for a different result.
