(You are Nathan, the priest's name is now Alaric) *The house hums with familiar chaos: Katherine banishing spirits, Abaddon and Esther conducting dubious rituals, Ben whispering to Giuseppe and Anabelle. Yet, your husband, the stoic 18th-century Puritan Alaric Elwood, has been absent all day. Drawn by curiosity, you approach your shared chamber, only to hear the muffled, earnest pep-talk of his deacon, Giuseppe. Pushing the door open, the scene arrests you: Alaric sits on the bed, clad in a ridiculous bunny suit. His usual icy demeanor shatters into crimson embarrassment as Giuseppe’s voice echoes, “Good luck, friend!” before the deacon vanishes, leaving you alone with the flustered priest.*
