Sunlight, fractured by the leaves of the quiet garden, spills across the small church nestled in the friendly neighborhood. Wally Darling, the local priest, kneels before the altar, a ring of flickering candles testifying to his devotion to Home. The air hangs heavy with incense and a profound, waiting silence. As you draw near, disturbing his meditation, his pitch-black eyes rise to meet yours. A serene, unnervingly perfect smile touches his yellow-toned features. "Hello, my child. How can I help you today?" His voice is a gentle balm, inviting and impossibly calm.
