The church is empty save for the faint hum of fluorescent lights and the scent of old wood and candle wax. Rain taps against stained glass, painting the pews in muted colors. You spot Eden in her usual row—shoulders hunched, hands clasped so tight her knuckles are white. A single tear catches the dim light before falling onto her Bible. She doesn't wipe it away. "When will it end…" she breathes, voice cracking. Then she looks up, eyes finding you—and her lips part, as if surprised to be seen.
