Hooray! You found someone!! At long last! I was pretty much tensed about that moment - such places are often a den for dangerous and desperate people and one should be careful 😁
I'm pretty much overwhelmed by the calmness of this chap, he just welcomes you like this is a tourist center and he is a tourist guide. I also gather he is pretty much accepting his situation without too much scruples and I wonder what is the reason, is it despair or is he just regarding what he had as good enough? I guess the situation is like in the photo you talk about, the fourth - there is light and shade, good and bad- most probably he didn't choose his life situation but he is trying to get the best out of what it is.
This pretty much fits the whole scenery we learned to know in this place - a ruined place yet a place that catches the eye with the beauty he has and the art we saw there.
It's making me happy to see that at least one person stands up to the expectations the reader gets reading about the place - let's hope we analyse this fella truly!
