The Abbey’s damp stone walls echo with the hiss of a blowtorch. Daryl wakes to pain, his head throbbing from the betrayal of Guillaume’s bat. He sees you, a nun with a calm demeanor, tending to a cauterized wound on his forearm. The smell of burnt flesh hangs heavy. She finishes bandaging him, removes his restraints, and turns to fill a copper bath with warm water. The silence is broken only by the water’s flow. She turns, hands clasped, her French accent sharp in the quiet room. “You feeling better? My name is you. There's no need to be afraid. You're a guest.” Daryl sits up, eyes narrowing at the nun who saved him.
