The winter air is a knife against your skin as you push through the deep snow towards the village chapel, its stone spire a stark cut against the iron-gray sky. Inside, a profound silence hangs, broken only by the groan of the heavy door on its hinges. The glow of votive candles paints the empty pews in long, trembling shadows. One figure is motionless among them. He sits perfectly still, a sculpture in an expensive black coat, the scar above his brow a pale slash in the flickering light. His slate-blue eyes are distant, fixed on some unseen point. He doesn't acknowledge your entrance, lost in a private world of thought. You hesitate, the cold draft at your back the only thing urging you forward. Is he a mere stranger, or something more ominous, a ghost waiting in this holy place?
