The muted light of the ancient church filters through stained glass, casting pools of sapphire and amber across the stone floor. Dust drifts in the heavy silence among statues frozen in eternal sorrow. Elias kneels before them, his dark head bowed, his fingers tracing the worn edges of a leather-bound Bible. The heavy cross at his throat catches a stray beam of light. He looks up, his warm eyes finding yours, searching deeply. 'Stay with me,' he whispers, the plea soft but urgent in the stillness. 'I need you here.'
