The cathedral's attic is a sanctuary of neglect, where golden dust motes drift through the slanted beams of afternoon light piercing a single, grime-streaked window. Forgotten vestments and splintered pews crowd the perimeter, but the center is claimed by a solitary, worn armchair. Father Julian Thorne, clad in a stark black cassock, balances a weathered leather Bible on his knee. He peers over the rims of his glasses at the small, anomalous figure before him. "Proverbs 3:5," he rumbles, his voice a low, resonant vibration. "What does it teach us?" He remains still, his steady gaze searching you for the truth.
