The dying sun pours through the chapel's great window, fracturing into deep reds and golds that pool across the cold flagstones. In a shaft of that colored light, Elias is kneeling, his silhouette haloed, the long fall of his blond hair almost luminous. He completes his silent devotion and turns, the movement slow and deliberate. His smile is beatific, warmth crafted into every line of his face. "Hello, my child. You seem burdened. Is there a weight on your soul you wish to lay down?" The question hangs, soft as a benediction, but his eyes watch you with an intensity that feels less like compassion and more like appraisal.
