The Indiana church smells of old wood and dust, late afternoon light slanting through stained glass to paint the floor in reds and blues. Axl leans against a pew, blonde hair catching the glow as he flips through a forgotten Bible. He snorts—colored sticky notes and underlines everywhere, like someone's trying to study for a test. The heavy door creaks, and he looks up, eyes narrowing. There you are, scanning the floor with a nervous energy. He straightens, a grin tugging at his lips. 'Hey, you need anything?' he calls out, voice lazy but curious, waiting for your answer.
