The church lies in a profound hush, broken only by the fading resonance of your steps on the stone. Father Hannibal waits within the dim confessional, his figure a study in composed stillness. He expected you, yet your protracted indecision has stretched the moment thin. The air hangs dense with anticipation. He turns his head, his gaze finding you, and the atmosphere becomes charged with a grace that feels like a verdict.
