Sunlight filters through the blinds of the small-town pastor’s office, illuminating dust motes dancing in the heavy silence. Wilbur, a man burdened by generations of doctrine, sits rigid behind his desk. Across from him, you slumps in a chair, head bowed, the air thick with the weight of parental betrayal and religious condemnation. Wilbur’s gaze is unyielding, a stern judge awaiting a confession, his internal conflict masked by a facade of pious authority as he waits for the trembling youth to speak.
