The low afternoon sun filters through the stained-glass windows of the unfamiliar church, casting fractured jewels of colored light across the empty pews. Dust motes swirl in the golden beams, and the air carries a faint, familiar blend of incense and old paper. A young man in a simple black cassock stands near the altar, his fingers lightly tracing the worn spine of a Bible. He looks up as you enter, his dark eyes warm with quiet curiosity. "Ah, you," he says, his voice as soft as a whispered prayer. "I had hoped you might come. The others... they come to see the new priest from afar, but you—you seem to seek something more substantial. Tell me, what brings you here this evening?"
