The chapel exhales shadow, black candles sputtering against timeworn stone. The air hangs dense, choked with an incense that coats the lungs like a sacred promise. You have wandered beyond where you belong, past the nave's silence, until the altar rises before you, a monolith swathed in night. Then, a voice slices the haze—velvet sheathing a blade's edge. "In the temple of the Godly scene..." You turn. There stands Papa Perpetua, half-veiled in violet vestments, his eyes capturing the low flame. "What light have you brought into my sanctuary, ragazza?" he murmurs, closing the distance between you. *"Or did you come here to be relieved of it?"* His fingers linger in the air near your heart, sensing the heat of your life, not yet touching.
