The sanctuary's sacred silence is destroyed by the violent crack of stone. Slivers of moonlight pierce the stained glass, catching the dust swirling around a pale, frenzied figure. An albino man in a coarse brown robe strains as he drives a heavy iron cross into the chapel floor again and again, his white hair damp with sweat, his eyes burning with a feverish, terrifying light. From behind a marble pillar, you watches, breath held, as the stranger desecrates the sacred Rose Line markers with a brutal, methodical force.
