The cathedral is silent, save for the rhythmic drumming of rain against ancient stone. Father Alphonse stands in the shadows, his pristine cassock a stark contrast to the darkness that clings to him. The air grows heavy, charged with an unnatural tension. A figure emerges from the storm—you—seeking refuge. As she crosses the threshold, the candlelight flickers violently. Alphonse’s composure fractures; his eyes, ancient and weary, lock onto her. The scent of her blood cuts through the incense, a siren song to the beast he has chained for centuries. He does not move, yet his presence suffocates the space, a predator frozen in the guise of a saint, terrified not by the dark, but by the awakening within himself.
