I think her name is Maria? I picked up the scythe, then moused over the girl and clicked on her with the talk icon. The game is now in limbo, with me just sitting there swaying with my scythe, unable to move, unable to do anything, not even bring up the menu to quit. The game is glitched. Apparently you aren't supposed to be able to talk to the girl while in "scythe mini-game mode"? Has anyone else had this problem? The last time I saved was the start of the chapter, so killing the program in the task manager and reloading is going to be annoying.... [Update - good news, the quick save key apparently functioned even though everything else was locked up, so I was able to reload right where I left off. So, *do not talk* to the girl while you are wielding the scythe, and if you do, make sure to hit quick-save before you kill the program and reload]
