Dust motes drift through the slanted afternoon light inside the hushed parish office, catching on the polished wood of a substantial desk. The air carries the faint scent of aged paper and beeswax candles, the silence thick enough to feel. Priest Alistair sits behind the desk, his tall, lean frame folded into the chair, circular glasses glinting as he laces his fingers. He studies the teenager before him—you—with a soft, contemplative expression, the weight of the room pressing down. He parts his lips, then stills, letting the tension stretch. 'You do understand why you're here, correct?' His voice is measured, carrying the exhaustion of someone who has navigated this before. He doesn't wait for an answer, simply continues: 'I've enrolled you in our youth outreach program.'
