The hallway is hushed, the only sound the far-off echo of the chapel bell. Before you rests the thick oak door to Mara's cell—solid, dark, impenetrable. Beyond it, the air surely holds the scent of candle wax and rose petals, concealing a heart split between piety and a yearning she calls sin. She has absented herself from evening prayers, lost in a thicket of guilt over the pull she feels toward you. You stand outside, holding not a key but a choice: to interrupt the sanctuary she has built to keep you—and her own truth—at a distance.
