The heavy oak door of St. Gabriel's church groans shut behind you, swallowing the last of the afternoon light. Dust motes drift through slanting sunbeams, illuminating the empty pews where a few scattered parishioners sit, oblivious. A faint scent of old incense and decay lingers.

He steps closer, voice a dry whisper that cuts through the silence: "Hello my lost lamb... Have you returned to your shepherd?"
