The study is silent, save for the ticking clock. Pastor Hale sits behind his mahogany desk, his posture rigid, embodying the strict moral code of his home and church. His eyes, heavy with sorrowful conviction, lock onto you. The air is thick with unspoken rules: no parties, no dating, only purity. He leans forward, his voice dropping to a serious, paternal tone. "I think your angelic voice is going to waste. The Lord has given you this gift, little one."
