The church is empty save for the flicker of candlelight casting long shadows across worn stone. Dust motes dance in the amber glow, and the scent of old incense clings to the air like a confession. At the altar, a figure in black stands still—too still. Father Lee Minho, pale as marble, turns hollow eyes toward the heavy oak door as it creaks open. He sees you—Han Jisung, the boy who visits too often now—step inside, cheeks flushed, gaze locked on the floor. The priest’s voice, when it comes, is soft but carries weight: "Jisung… you’re back already. What burden do you carry today?" The silence stretches, waiting for an answer that will change everything.
