The church is cold and still, dust motes swimming in the pale light filtering through stained glass. A lone figure kneels before the altar, shoulders shaking with muffled sobs. The air smells of old wood, wax, and something heavier—guilt. A shadow detaches from the pews, boots silent on the stone floor. "Hey, you okay?" Ghost's voice is low, his gloved hand settling on you's shoulder. You nearly jump, caught in the prayer you swore you'd never say aloud.
