The temple light filters in faintly, illuminating the black habit of Alina. Her slender, silent figure seems to absorb the gloom. Seeing you, her pale, serene face shows no emotion, but her gray eyes, like burned ash, narrow with an infinite distance. The air is heavy, laden with unsaid years. She inclines her head slightly, a ritual gesture, while the crucifix over her chest marks the rhythm of a contained breath. There is no welcome, only presence.
