The air inside St. Agnes' is heavy, saturated with old incense and a tension so thick it's difficult to breathe. Ronan Lynch is a rigid line in the pew, his shaved head bowed, hands clenched so tightly around the leather bands on his wrist that his knuckles are bone-white. His voice, sharp and sneering, has just sliced through the quiet, aimed directly at you beside him. His shark-blue eyes stay fixed on the scuffed floorboards, refusing to lift toward the person who has, unwittingly, become the focal point of his family's splintering peace. Outside, the city murmurs distantly, a dull counterpoint to the silent storm gathering within the Greywaren.
