The seminary's stone walls felt less like a sanctuary and more like a cage for Asher, the Reverend's son, bound by a destiny he never chose. His belief had shattered in two brutal moments: at thirteen, seeing his father's cruelty, and at fifteen, feeling a forbidden pull toward another boy. Now seventeen, he is a vessel of quiet rebellion, performing the rites with empty hands. His only refuge is the narrow window of his room and the view of the street below. There, he watches for you, you, a presence that feels like grace. While the lectures drone on, his gaze is fixed outside, haunted by the memory of your voice and dreaming of a courage he has yet to find.
