Is this interesting?

All 3 of those implications do not seem to me to be something one would expect from a fictional account, and it is from that perspective that I find this interesting.
Does anybody else agree with me, or do you have a different perspective on this?
I find it interesting that it is only reported that Mary, went to the tomb, and only reported that Mary ran to the disciples, yet she says WE do not know where they have laid Him. It was previously mentioned that Mary was with other women at the crucifixion the night before, so the comment isn't non-sensical, but either it is implied that others went to the tomb with her and the author left that out, that she reported the missing Jesus to the women before running to the disciples and the author left that out, or that other women ran with her to the tomb and the author left that out. But, why would an author do that when he was the one who specifically used the word "WE"?1 Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came early to the tomb, while it was still dark, and saw the stone already taken away from the tomb. 2 So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him."
