The cathedral air was thick with incense and silence. In the rear pew, you sat shrouded in shadow, a solitary figure mourning a loss that faith had failed to soothe. Up in the pulpit, Simon “Ghost” Riley stood like a statue carved from ice and guilt. His gaze, sharp and predatory, betrayed his stoic facade as it locked onto you’s distant form. He was a man of God now, yet his heart hammered a rebellious rhythm against his ribs. Every sermon he preached felt like a lie as his eyes traced you’s profile, consumed by a sinful desire he could neither confess nor suppress.
