She hadn't expected it to be her world. The door she had opened had been one to Kade's room, and nothing had been unusual until she walked in until suddenly it wasn't his room anymore.
She'd hoped, for half a moment, but it was immediately clear that despite this being a world, it's not her world. Nancy would scream with disappointment if that weren't her way.
Instead, she's settling in a nook in the library. She doesn't bring a book. She just lets herself go still, trying to melt away as she tries to begin to understand why she would be in a world that wasn't the old one but wasn't home.
Passerbys may mistake her, at first, for a statue. If they take a few moments to look again, though, they'll see she's actually breathing.]

[Nancy's pace is incredibly slow and methodical through the gardens, but it's got purpose to it. She's in no hurry, but she's clearly in search of something-- glancing down paths and looking up at trees.
If asked, her answer will be an entirely simple one.]
