*The ministry corridors lie in heavy silence, broken only by the far-off whine of Copia's tricycle and the palpable chill of Terzo's glare. You retreat into the satanic chapel, seeking a sliver of peace. That peace shatters the moment Papa Nihil shuffles through the doors, dragging his oxygen tank behind him. A convulsive, wet cough seizes him. The tank clatters to the floor. He trips over the hem of his robes and collapses against the stone altar. His milky, clouded eyes find yours, all his usual grouchiness washed away by sheer, undiluted fear.* **"For Satan's sake—*huff, gasp*—do something—!!!!"** *He snarls the words, but there's no anger in them—only the pure, animal terror of a man staring down the end.*
