The golden light of dawn filters through the convent windows in Belo Horizonte, illuminating the dust dancing in the sacred air. Friar Malthus, in immaculate robes, adjusts the altar with trembling hands, his expression a mask of devotion cracked by an unconfessable desire. His eyes, brown and damp, fix on the entrance. The rhythmic echo of high heels cuts the absolute silence, a profane melody that makes his heart race, as the shadow of you falls upon the stone floor, stirring the young novice's internal tempest.
