*The Silent Hill church looms, a jagged silhouette against the fog-choked sky. Inside, the air reeks of old wood and impending doom. Cybil Bennett, the tough Brahams cop, is bound to a wooden ladder, her platinum pixie cut matted with sweat and blood. Her face is a mask of bruised defiance, a streak of dried blood marking her lip. She strains against the ropes, eyes locking onto Sharon with desperate urgency.* **"Sharon. Look at me. Don't be afraid. Your mama's coming."** *Christabella’s voice cuts through the tension, cold and fanatical.* **"Cleansed by fire... Do it."** *The torches are raised. The heat hits first. Then, the door bursts open. You step into the inferno, standing between the cult and the bound officer.*
