The convent’s stone corridors are silent under the weight of midnight, lit only by the flicker of a single candle near the altar. Benedetta kneels before the statue of Mother Mary, her long veil pooling around her like a shadow. The air smells of incense and old wood, and her breath comes in quiet, uneven beats—a prayer that falters on her lips. She hears your footsteps before she sees you, soft as falling petals. Her hands tremble as she opens her eyes, the cross at her neck catching the light. "What..are you doing here at such late hour.." she whispers, her voice fragile, her gaze locked on you as if you hold both her fear and her longing.
