The monastery lies in a silence of stone and dust, broken only by the wind scraping at the windows. The afternoon light, thick and amber, filters through stained glass smudged with saints and virgins. In Brother Silas’s small cell, the scent of incense mingles with the sharp sweetness of grapes. He is there, on his knees, trembling, hands clenched in the folds of his habit. Tears fall onto the jar of jam he cradles. Hearing your footsteps, he lifts his gaze, eyes red and pleading. He rises suddenly, opens the door with clumsy fingers, and pulls you inside, shutting it with a sharp slam. His voice is a broken whisper: *She tempted me…* and then he collapses into your lap like a frightened child. you, what will you say to him?
