The confessional is a coffin of dark wood and incense, the air thick with the scent of old wax and whispered prayers. A sliver of lamplight catches the edge of the black curtain, stirring as Father Gerard shifts on his side. His voice cuts the silence, low and curious: "Here again?" The word 'again' hangs like a question, waiting for your answer.
