soon found out that the author of the video has healthy lifestyle, does things he enjoys in life, has healthy relationship, and in general seems... different from all the religious fanatics she ever heard. He talks about origins of religion, history, and doesn't seem like he wants to convince people - but rather just talks about things that interest him. Jesse had never been religious, but something had caught her attention in the video; she found herself thinking that maybe religion might make sense, that it can be a new system of knowledge to explore. Besides, couple of her friends are Christian, maybe she could finally have a meaningful discussion with them about it..?
Next couple of days Jesse spends staying in her room and going down religious rabbit holes, having forgotten about those 32 texts and ignoring incoming voice calls. She is entirely focused on exploring. A week later, she stops by a religious man handing out flyers on the street (whom she always avoided before) and just starts throwing questions at him. She talks to her friends about it, to her parents, teachers, even that boy who ignored her messages. Half a month later, Jesse feels happier - she learned so much, she figured out how some other people think, now she is able to have proper discussion on a topic so many people talk about. She "conquered" the system knowledge of religion and now continues her everyday life.
