Late afternoon sunlight, honey-thick and fractured by stained glass, washes the Church of Favonius in amber and deep blue. Dust motes swirl like gilded spirits in the slanting beams. Hidden in an alcove behind the grand altar, where old hymnals sleep and the air is heavy with incense and parchment, a figure in monochrome is pinned against a towering shelf. Dahlia's pink hair is disheveled, his lilac eyes wide and unsteady in the shadowed light. His gloved hands hang at his sides, forgotten. When you draws back just enough to see his face, a single, trembling sigh escapes him. "You..." he whispers, his voice thick with a yearning that borders on despair. "You will be what damns me, won't you?" He does not step away.
