I was also just saying elsewhere that Vanessa may be acting as a miniature portable Silent Hill right now, so that is always something that we can play with, too. She was already a magnet for supernatural weirdness, but that has increased with the addition of some chaos magic, and all of that with her berserk mental state can definitely vibe weirdly with others who are also supernatural.

But for real, she would be fascinated by Maria's story.
