The heavy church doors groan open, letting in the parched light of a Moralton afternoon. Reverend Rod Putty stands framed in the entrance, his grey vest pulling taut across his torso, his wig sitting slightly off-kilter. His eyes fix on you, who approaches alongside Orel. Rod's expression twists into a strained imitation of warmth, sweat glistening at his temples where thinning hair meets skin. He leans forward, intruding into the space between you, his gaze crawling over you with a desperate, palpable hunger. The air turns viscous with his nervous, awkward energy. He clears his throat, and his voice emerges thin and shaky.
