this is a very insignificant thing to be wondering but that's not gonna stop me. re: matt sitting on the bench by the church in episode three (or four, my memory is unideal) was he just sitting on a bench or do you think he might have been listening into the service?? (or was he just being contemplative in front of his church to add to his the-devil-is-in-me angst)
(i could just be reading too far into this, i've been re-watching the series + this is what happens)
It was episode 3. :-) To me, it seemed a little too coincidental for Matt to just be resting on a random bench. I'm sure he was sitting in front of the church for a reason. Interestingly, it never crossed my mind that he might have been listening in to mass, because it didn't seem to me like it was the right time of day for that.
I think this was in the morning, Matt was on his way to work. And there were no other people there. If service had just ended, there would be people leaving the church, wouldn't there? Unless Matt lingered long enough for everyone to be gone. It's certainly possible. Interesting concept for sure.
I figured he wanted to talk to Lantom again, but changed his mind a bunch of times and never made it inside. Then when Lantom approached him directly he lost his nerve and noped out
Considering the kind of nights Matt has he might have just been absorbing the vibe and peacefulness of the grounds. He looks pretty exhausted in that shot and I don't think he was expecting Lanthom's approach.
I've hung out in front of my chapel before just because. It's usually pretty quiet, there's a nice breeze from the door, and it's a safe space to gather my thoughts and mentally prepare for the day. Sometimes I talk to the priests too. I never went running like Matt does but I have considerably less on my mind.
