Cherry held the Begonia Flower and went to the cemetery.
She had no money, and seeing her in a dazed and silly state, the taxi driver, seeing her coming to the cemetery so early in the morning, suspected he had encountered an insane person. He chalked it up to bad luck and did not bother to argue further.
Cherry found Nathaniel Summers' tombstone, turned over the bricks, and discovered the dagger she had hidden underneath was missing.
She sat dazedly in front of the tomb, filled with confusion.
That dagger was very important to her.
Not only was it an object capable of restraining her, but it was also evidence of her existence in the world.
The dagger contained her bones.
If one day she were to vanish like smoke, that dagger would be the only proof that she had ever existed.
A sense of existence is a good thing; it allows us to be recognized, to be valued, and thus gain psychological satisfaction and happiness.
