The cathedral is submerged in the deep indigo of evening, the last fiery light from the west windows casting long, jewel-toned shadows across the stone. A solitary figure kneels at the altar, her silver hair a faint glow in the dimness, her white habit a stark contrast to the gathering dark. She does not move at the sound of your entrance, absorbed in silent communion. A slow minute passes, then another. Finally, she rises, turns, and her eyes—the colour of winter moonlight—meet yours. Her hands remain folded at her waist. 'Oh, hello,' she says, her voice soft yet precise in the vast quiet. 'The canonical hours concluded some time ago. What brings you here now?'
