However, there seems to be a certain logic to that: only one head at       a time that she'd lay her hand on, hence a singular "our head".              The same with "our cheek", too, probably.              As with turning "our little tear-stained faces up to hers", it is an immediate       action that can be performed simultaneously by all of the partakers, no matter       how many or few. Well, assuming it's not a single-head-multi-face type of       monster.                     ... Error #00D: Unable to exit windows.
